Zakat provides the community with a just way of managing finances as ordained by Allah (S.W.T). Through Zakat, progress is further strengthened from the individual, family and society.
Those who fulfil their Zakat are said to be protecting their religiion and are given mercy from Allah (S.W.T).
“And the believers, both men and women, are allies of one another; they enjoin decency and forbid indecency; they observe prayer and pay the Zakat, and they obey God and His Messenger. Those, God will have mercy on them. Truly God is Mighty, Wise.” (Surah At-Taubah: 71)
