We can find are all sorts of teachings and instructions for an economic system in religion Islam. Islam speaks about prohibition and abhorrence of usury or interest, it clearly talks about giving charity to needy and poor, it tells us the importance of being truthful in measuring items and goods and honouring others, Islam gives the concept of obligatory charity Zakat, and so on.
Zakaat is an obligatory act of charity which is also one of the basic pillars of religion Islam. The term zakaat in the Holy Quran occurs many times, it is mentioned with namaz.There are also other pillars of Islam and act of worship which only benefits the person who performs but zakaat is an act of worship which benefits whole society, zakaat is performed through giving the particular portion of wealth to needy and poor category of society as command by ALLAH Almighty and it greatly benefits mankind. Zakaat is an obligatory act of worship performed by giving portion of a person’s wealth for the help of poor. By offering namaz or salah, a Muslim performs his responsibility and duty towards ALLAH Almighty and by paying charity or zakaat, he or she helps the poor Muslims. Namaz is a physical form of ibadah whereas zakaat is a material form of worship. The literal meaning of the term Zakaat is purity or cleanliness. By paying Zakaat Muslim purifies and cleanses his soul accordance to the commands of ALLAH Almighty. Zakaat also overcomes a person’s greed for the worldly lavishness and wealth. Zakaat reminds a Muslim that whatever amount of wealth he or she is earning does not belongs to him but it is a gift or trust that ALLAH Almighty bestowed on him. This clearly explains its importance that zakaat is an obligatory payment which has to be paid by rich and well-off Muslims to the poor and needy people so that the wealth equally distributed among all and because of paying zakaat heart and soul of giver is purified. When a Muslim spends his earning and wealth in the way of ALLAH Almighty, he hearty decides that such generosity will be repaid continuously. ALLAH Almighty has formulated the most excellent economic system for the whole humanity in the form of zakaat. The purpose of paying zakaat is to give economic security to the needy amd poor and it is paid also to prevent the accumulation of human wealth in a few hands. In religion Islam we can find several warnings those people who avoid paying zakaat, they will receive penalty in the hereafter and also will face the punishment in this world by the destruction of his property on which obligatory charity has not been paid.
