Zakat and Ramdan
As a financial obligation upon Muslims, zakat (‘the poor-due) represents a social contract between those with wealth and those who don’t. In this contract, zakat plays a dual role as an act of worship and a means for promoting social justice. Generally speaking, zakat is divided into two categories: zakat on the wealth and zakat on the soul.
The zakat money collected throughout the year must be paid to one of the following categories of people before zuhr. Which starts at noon and ends at 1 pm, of Yawmul Ashra, 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah. Zakat can also be given to other deserving people such as debtors, wanderers, and those fighting for the cause of Allah.
When calculating zakat payments. It’s important to remember that zakat is only payable on specific categories of wealth: gold, silver, cash, produce, livestock, and business assets. In addition, there are special zakat rates for each type.
In conclusion, Ramadan is a blessed month in which Muslims are rewarded for their deeds. It is a time for coming closer to Allah, strengthening faith, and celebrating with friends and family.
