Zakat and Sadaqah Sunni Razvi Society International Enter to Learn. Leave to Serve Zakat Zakat, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is the giving of a fixed portion of one's wealth to charity, generally to the poor and needy. Sunni Razvi Society International Enter to Learn. Leave to Serve History Zakat, a practice initiated by Muhammed himself, has played an important role throughout Islamic history. Initially, Muhammed instituted zakat as a voluntary, individual offering, but during his lifetime certain forms of zakat have been declared obligatory.

Those who cannot meet their basic needs. The zakat collectors themselves. People who are non-Muslims, to show them the real spirit of Islam. People whom one is attempting to free from slavery or bondage. Also includes paying ransom or blood money. Those who have incurred overwhelming debts while attempting to satisfy their basic needs. Those working for an Islamic cause. Travelers in need. Zakat may not be given to descendants of the prophet Muhammad, nor may it be given to parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, or spouses. It is also forbidden to disburse zakat funds to organizations that pay salaries to their employees, or use the money for investments. Sunni Razvi Society International Enter to Learn. Leave to Serve Zakat al-fitr Zakat al-Fitr is charity given to the poor at the end of the fasting in the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

Leave to Serve Sadaqah Sadaqah or Saddka is an Islamic term that means "voluntary charity". This concept encompasses any act of giving out of compassion, love, friendship or generosity.

Leave to Serve Hadith on Sadaqah/Saddka The Islamic prophet Muhammad: "We used to sacrifice Atirah in pre-Islamic days during Rajab; so what do you command us?” He said: “Sacrifice for the sake of Allah in any month whatever; obey Allah, Most High, and feed (the people).” • • • • "Saddka extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire." "Saddka appeases the Lord’s anger and averts an evil death." "Give the Saddka without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity." "The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his Saddka." Sunni Razvi Society International Enter to Learn. Leave to Serve Quran on Sadaqah Sadaqah should be given solely out of love for God, out of the desire to do good to His creation, as the Quran says about the righteous:"They give food, out of love for Him (Allah), to the poor, the orphan, and the slave, saying: We feed you only for Allah's pleasure - we desire from you neither reward nor thanks.“ Giving Sadaqah will not diminish a Muslim's wealth. It serves as expiation for sins and yields rewards in the next life. Allah says: "For those who give in charity, men and women, and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan, it shall be increased manifold (to their credit), and they shall have a liberal reward.” Sunni Razvi Society International Enter to Learn.
