Zakat can be tricky to navigate, especially if you’re new to it.
But it’s essential that we have an understanding of it. It’s a beautiful pillar of Islam, and it has the power to transform our world for the better, with immense benefits - not just for the individual, but also for the society at large.
Sadaqah is sometimes used to refer to Zakat in the Qur’an, but the two terms generally have different meanings.
So what is the difference between Zakat and Sadaqah?
Well, quite simply, Zakat is the obligatory form of charity, whereas Sadaqah is voluntary.
The coronavirus is an overwhelming crisis, which none of us saw coming. It has affected each and every one of our lives, and we are all feeling anxious for the safety of our loved ones and those who are vulnerable around the globe.
Zakat, it's one of the most important things a Muslim will do in their life.
The term Zakat is an Arabic word that means 'to purify'.
This means that giving Zakat purifies your wealth; it's a source of immense baraka, or blessing.
Zakat is important because it benefits not only the individual, but also the recipient and society at large. The power of Zakat cannot be underestimated.
It's an incredible institution intended to transform society. Imagine this: if just the top ten richest people in the world paid Zakat, that would amount to £7.7 billion!
On World Water Day 2020, we want to take the conversation well beyond access to clean water, to the infrastructure and practices which make clean water a life-saver.
Have you ever been asked, “What’s your 5-year plan?”
How about, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?”
We spend so much of our time thinking ahead, drawing up plans and aspiring for better for ourselves and our families. But no one ever plans to be a victim of war. No one plans to be a refugee.
