RAMADHAN DAY 22

Zakah (or zakat) is not purely about giving money
or basic necessities (rice, dates) to the poor and
needy, but it's also for purification purposes! It
purifies the hearts from greedy and selfishness.
Zakah Eid-Fitri is obligatory and it needs to be paid
before the end of Ramadhan. The purpose of the
collection of Zakah... Eid-Fitri before Eid is to help
the needy and the poor for their Eid preparation.
Helping one another; ain't that beautiful?
"My mercy encompasses all things, but I will
specify it for the righteous who give Zakat" (7:156)
So to you righteous Muslims, I urge you to pay
zakah before the end of Ramadhan. For
Malaysians, you may find many many Zakah
"counters" in mosques, shopping malls and even in
bazaars!
Upon giving your money, one should make sure that
you're doing it for Allah and with most humbleness,
not for show-off purposes. Think about the happy
needy people you're gonna help, and most
importantly, think about the awesome rewards
you're gonna get from Allah from your good deed!
For further information on zakah Eid-Fitri, please
refer to respectable scholars, or you can just simply
Google it. Most Islamic websites on the net are
trustworthy, insyallah.
