Zakah is the 3rd pillar of Islam. It is one of the Islamic effective tools to create a just economic system that properly cares for the underprivileged.
“There are more than 80 verses in the Quran that mention it. It is mentioned that those who pay Zakah are rewarded by God and those who do not are punished by God.
In the Quran in (24:56), (2:24), (9:34), and (51:15–9) we find vivid pictures showing Zakah as an institution in a truly Islamic Society.” Dr. Jamal Badawi
