Study Notes
Distinction Between Sadaqah and Zakah
- Sadaqah refers to voluntary charitable donations made to help those in need, with no set amount or obligation.
- Zakah is a mandatory form of almsgiving, forming one of the Five Pillars of Islam, and requires Muslims to give a specific percentage of their wealth (usually 2.5%) to those in need annually.
Meaning of the Arabic Word 'Zakah'
- The Arabic term 'Zakah' translates to "purification" or "growth," indicating that giving this form of charity purifies one's wealth and helps it to grow spiritually and materially.
Duty on Every Rich Muslim
- Paying Zakah is an obligation for every wealthy Muslim, as it is a religious duty designed to support the underprivileged and promote social justice within the community.
Allah's Statement on the Day of Judgement for Not Visiting Him When Ill
- On the Day of Judgement, Allah will question individuals about their neglect when they did not visit Him during His illness. This highlights the moral responsibility to support others during their times of suffering.
