Zakat A Religious Obligation

Updated: Apr 20, 2023

During Ramadan, Muslims practice reflection, self-discipline, and worship. Zakat, a pillar of Islam, is the obligatory charitable giving that purifies one's wealth and aids the needy. This article encourages giving Zakat to the AAP Foundation UK, which assists underprivileged communities.


Zakat, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is obligatory for Muslims, with the Quran emphasizing its role in promoting social justice and compassion.



The Quran emphasizes the importance of Zakat in numerous verses, highlighting its role in promoting social justice and compassion.


For instance, Surah Al-Baqarah (2:267) says:


يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنفِقُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّا أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُم بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَن تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ ۚ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ


"O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy."
