    What humanitarian and socio-political responsibility does Zakath encourage among Muslims?

    • Zakath encourages Muslims to organise social get-togethers and parties.

    • Zakath encourages Muslims to spend money in travelling to new places.

    • Zakath encourages Muslims to redistribute wealth and boosts social responsibility.

    • Zakath encourages Muslims to build new houses for themselves

    Correct Answer
    A. Zakath encourages Muslims to redistribute wealth and boosts social responsibility.
    Explanation
    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.

    Correct Answer
    A. 85 grams
    Explanation
    The survey of preserved coins is the most accurate means of
    determining the exact weight of the dinar and the dirham. The nisab of silver must then
    be 200 x 2.975 = 595 grams, and the nisab of gold should be 20 x 4.25 = 85 grams of
    gold.
