Zakah
one of the five pillars of Islam is zakah, a duty upon every
Muslim and the right of the poor and needy. Allah (swt) and His Messenger
(saws) inform us that giving zakah not only fulfils this duty and helps those
in need, but also purifies one's wealth so that it may continue to grow --
indeed, this is the Arabic meaning of the word 'zakah.
And One of the many benefits of zakah is that it helps provide a form of
social justice: a way to redistribute wealth from the better off to those who
are less fortunate. For this reason those that are eligible to receive zakah
are precisely stipulated unlike the case of general sadaqah. Almost all of Muslim Hands' work with the poor and needy, including orphans, widows and the disabled involves working directly with those zakah is intended to help.
Paying your zakah through Muslim Hands not only allows you to fulfil your obligations and rest assured your money is being given to those in need and in accordance with Islamic law but also allows you to support our work with some of the planet's poorest people.
Thanks a lot
