‘Zakah’ or ‘Zakat’ here is meant:

“ the compulsory tax upon a Muslim’s wealth,

to be given out to certain categories of people,

as commanded by Allah.”


Yet, it is interesting to note that the Arabic word

‘Zakah’ has the meaning of “to purify” as well as “to

make it grow”. Thus, Allah says:


We come into this world without any possession. Then we

begin to acquire for our needs, provision and possessions -

and begin accumulating and amassing wealth.

Our interaction with this world and material possessions

will have effect upon our self (Nafs), our hearts (Qolb), our

soul (Ruh).

Regarding our Self, or heart, Allah says:


FIRST REASONFIRST REASON

““And a soul (And a soul (NafsNafs) and Him Who perfected it. ) and Him Who perfected it.

And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and

(what is) right for it. (what is) right for it.

He is indeed successful who purify and causes it to grow, He is indeed successful who purify and causes it to grow,

And he is indeed a failure who stunted it.”And he is indeed a failure who stunted it.”((Qur’an: ash-Shams: 91: 7-10Qur’an: ash-Shams: 91: 7-10) )




Islam never totally reject the world nor does it denies the

importance to Muslims acquiring wealth.

Yet it knows what these can do to our spiritual self. Thus,

it is indeed crucial to avert corruption and spiritual diseases

from affecting our hearts and soul (nafs) which wealth and

material possessions may bring e.g. Greed, possessiveness,

miserliness, avarice, corruption, oppression etc.


There is a saying:

““Love for the world (affection and attachment to Love for the world (affection and attachment to

material possession) is the head (root) of every material possession) is the head (root) of every

sins (wrong-doings,(mistakes, errors etc.)”sins (wrong-doings,(mistakes, errors etc.)”


““Verily We have created Man into toil and struggle. Thinks Verily We have created Man into toil and struggle. Thinks

he, that none hath power over him? He may say he, that none hath power over him? He may say

(boastfully): "Wealth have I squandered in (boastfully): "Wealth have I squandered in

abundance!” Thinks he that none beholds him? Have We abundance!” Thinks he that none beholds him? Have We

not made for him a pair of eyes?― And a tongue, and a pair not made for him a pair of eyes?― And a tongue, and a pair

of lips?― And shown him the two highways? “of lips?― And shown him the two highways? “

((Qur’an: al-Balad: 90: 7-10Qur’an: al-Balad: 90: 7-10) )


Thus, Muslims not only needs to be reminded that:Thus, Muslims not only needs to be reminded that:

[a] [a] possession and wealth are bestowals of Allah, only as possession and wealth are bestowals of Allah, only as

Thus, Muslims not only needs to be reminded that:Thus, Muslims not only needs to be reminded that:

[c] [c] remember how innocent we were, until we began to remember how innocent we were, until we began to

our Self/Soul.our Self/Soul.

All bestowals and wealth is from Allah. And He would

generally bestow upon many amongst mankind more than

what he needs, so that through them these wealth would

be shared with the others who deserves it.


SECOND REASONSECOND REASON

There is no shortage of Allah’s bestowal upon mankind

regarding wealth and provision – mankind's’ economic

problem is only regarding its distribution.

This is because living in this world is but a test – especially

in this case, test upon rich towards the poor, the have

towards those who have not.



Thus, Muslim regards part of what Allah gives him to

include what belongs to others, which becomes his

amanah (trust) to distribute them to its rightful recipients.



And because the Muslim regards his wealth to includes

what belongs to others. As long as these are not given out

to their rightful recipients, his wealth is not totally

regarded as his. Therefore by giving out the zakat, it is like

purifying the wealth which is in his possession from what

is not his and forbidden for him to consume



What is the real worth of our wealth? With death, these What is the real worth of our wealth? With death, these

wealth looses all value for us, except those that has been wealth looses all value for us, except those that has been

“ “ The likeness of those who spend their wealth in Allah's way The likeness of those who spend their wealth in Allah's way

e.g. like corn), in every ear a hundred grains. e.g. like corn), in every ear a hundred grains.

((Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 261Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 261))



Wealth is measured, not by how much money is a country,

but by how it has been circulated and how many times it is

used. Thus a country’s economy is measured by Gross

Domestic Product (GDP).


SECOND REASONINGSECOND REASONING

In society, there are people who do not have spending

power due to poverty or unemployment etc. (which zakat

is meant for). Providing for them means injecting into the

economy catalysts to increase economic activity because

of the “multiplier effect” it generates.



Thus it is, that Zakat seems to ‘penalise’ unused wealth,

to discourage hoardings especially when these wealth

inevitably deprive those who are in need from having

means to spend even on basics.



Wealth when used or injected into the economy would in

fact generate work and incomes to these various category

of people, thus, by increasing consumer demand

(spending) increases national products and services,

whereas hoarding wealth would stifle and retard the

economy.

This is to ensure new Muslims’ every need is provided

for, even those who may be rich, they are entitled to

disbursement from the Islamic treasury.


MU-ALLAF MU-ALLAF

[5] From the word meaning “neck” – it refers to the

ransoming or free Muslims from slavery.

This shows that every Muslim must be freed from all forms

of slavery or from being under oppression. Their freedom

must be accorded for them (if need be) using the zakat funds.

Although chattel slavery no longer exist, yet Islamic scholars

are known to apply ‘qiyas’ (juristic analogy) for what may

constitute modern ‘slavery’.All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2011

[6] These are “those who are indebted”.

We differentiate “debt” from “loan”. Loan is merely one

who can afford to repay what he owes, except that it be

deferred. He is not what we mean by “one who is indebted”.

“Those indebted” are akin to “faqir & miskin” but in a

temporary sense, because of unforeseen expenditure

incurred due to misfortune, sickness, accident, calamities etc.


GHAA-RIMEENGHAA-RIMEEN

[7] Literally, it means “those (fighting, striving) in the Way of

This is for those Muslim “Mujahideen” in the way of Allah,

during war as fighters; and In peace time, it include the

“Mujahid of Da’wah” i.e. those striving to “raise the kalimah

of Allah, to be highest” in the field of spreading the teachings

of Islam through Da’wah.


FEE-SABI-LILLAAHFEE-SABI-LILLAAH

[8] This refers to Muslim “travellers or wayfarer”.

A Muslim traveller in need, has rights to zakat funds,

wherever or whenever he encounters difficulty while

travelling in Muslim lands. In fact, there were times in history

that the Islamic state provided 3 days hospitality in

caravanserais (musafir-khana) managed by Islamic treasury

(bayt-ul-maal) , for every Muslim travellers.
