Zakah And Sadaqa Quiz

Muslims pay Zakat, which is a mandatory charitable contribution based on their wealth, to help those in need. The correct answer is 2.5% because it is the standard percentage that Muslims are required to give from their annual savings and assets. This amount is calculated based on the value of their wealth and is given to support the poor, the needy, and other deserving recipients.

Zakath is a form of charity in Islam that requires Muslims to give a portion of their wealth to those in need. By encouraging Muslims to redistribute their wealth, Zakath promotes social responsibility and helps to alleviate poverty and inequality within the community. This act of giving not only helps those in need but also fosters a sense of compassion and empathy among Muslims, strengthening the bonds of solidarity and promoting a more just and equitable society.

The survey of preserved coins is the most accurate means of

gold.

lah’s Cause (i.e. for Mujaahidoon ‐ those fighting in the 
holy wars), and for the wayfarer (a traveler who is cut off 
from everything); a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is 
All‐Knower, All‐Wise.

According to Islamic teachings, Zakath can be given to those who are in debt, even if their debt is greater than their wealth. This is because Zakath is meant to help those who are in need, and being in debt is considered a form of financial need. By giving Zakath to individuals with large debts, it can help alleviate their financial burden and enable them to repay their debts.

Zakah, the mandatory giving of a portion of one's wealth to the poor and needy, was made obligatory in the second year of Hijra. This refers to the second year after the migration of Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina. Prior to this, Zakah was not mandatory. The exact timing of when Zakah became obligatory is significant as it marks an important milestone in the development of Islamic society and the establishment of economic justice within the community.

Zakah's special virtues include purifying the soul of the believer by removing sins, drawing one closer to God, and bringing about His pleasure. It also promotes greater equality among people by distributing wealth more evenly, which helps reduce resentment and disaffection within a society. These virtues make Zakah essential for the well-being and success of both individuals and societies.
