Islam has made alms giving compulsory, to ensure that wealth is circulated fairly within the society and the poor can get a chance to overcome their financial struggles permanently. This is the reason we can see that Muslims are asked to establish Zakat right after five times compulsory Salat.

By giving Zakat we can care for the poor and needy who are homeless, hungry and living a demeaning life. Through Zakat we can establish social justice and compassion for the fellow human beings, who are forgotten and unloved.

 Quran has also mentioned about the 8 categories under which various beneficiaries are eligible to receive Zakat. Under the category “Fi-Sabeelillah”, Zakat can also be paid to people or organizations that are doing good deeds to seek the blessings and pleasure of Allah.

Zakat is the best way to purify the wealth and soul of the givers. It saves the giver from immorality and wrongdoings. It frees the heart of the Muslims from vices like misery and greed. Allah has also promised to forgive the Zakat giver from his sins just for performing this generous act.

Zakat can reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. If the rich share their bounties and blessings with the poor population, it can help to remove envy and jealousy from their hearts.

Zakat can also help us to build a peaceful society where no one would have to suffer due to poverty.

In this sense, Zakat can be a powerful tool which the rich can use to contribute to the sustainable development of the Pakistani poor communities, and uplift the country’s economy.

Pakistan is the land which belongs to the world’s second largest Muslim community and it is also the sixth most populous country around the globe. According to the 2017 published report of Social Policy and Development Network, 38% of Pakistanis are living in poverty.

The same journal has also reported about 51% of people living in low-income families, who are standing on the verge of falling into poverty.

In Pakistan, many religious and generous people give Zakat which can make up 1.6 % to 4.4 % of the national GDP, as reported by Global Findex. This is definitely a good sign that the rich and wealthy people are already doing their best to contribute to the sustainable development of the country.

If you take a closer look at the present situation of our country, the contribution that we are making isn’t enough compared to the vast demands and necessities of the 40 million Pakistanis living under the poverty line.

Zakat provides an enormous potential to reduce poverty and help the vulnerable community to rise up. Those who are already giving Zakat should continue practicing the mandatory act. The people who aren’t giving it now should consider their religious and spiritual duties and can begin to perform Zakat from this year.

Islam has always given priority to the protection of human life and as good Muslims, it is our sacred duty to come forward and save as many lives as possible.
