Giving Zakat
(Support of the Needy):
All things belong to God, and
wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The original meaning
of the word zakat is both ‘purification’ and ‘growth.’ Giving zakat
means ‘giving a specified percentage on certain properties to certain
classes of needy people.’ The percentage which is due on gold, silver,
and cash funds that have |
||||
reached the amount of about 85 grams of gold and held in possession for
one lunar year is two and a half percent. Our possessions are purified
by setting aside a small portion for those in need, and, like the
pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.
