Zakat, a Bridge of Islam“Zakat is the bridge of Islam; so whoever performs it can cross the bridge and whoever withholds it will be detained beneath it. And it (Zakat) extinguishes the

anger of the Lord.”Bihar al-Anwar, Volume 74, Page 405

shall perish.”Al-Kafi, Volume 3, Page 497, and Bihar al-Anwar, Volume

Zakat relates to one of the pillars of Islam While reading the Quran you would have come across a number of times the command:

“Be steadfast in prayer; practice regular Charity.”

"Take alms from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it." [Surah at-Tauba 103]

Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was ordered to fight the people until they made the established prayer and paid zakat

individuals, who are constituents of a society• Usually all the Islamic commands start from

the individual and travels to the establishment of an ideal community of the people

Conditions on Zakat

Islamic Sharia laid down some conditions that must be realized to make Zakat due.

These conditions are:• Full Ownership• Growth of Wealth, Whether Real or Assumed• Reaching Nisab (Minimum Amount Liable to

Zakat)• Exceeding One's Basic Needs• The lapse of a full year• Forbidding Twice Payment of Zakat at the Same

Year• Public wealth and charitable properties

•Full Ownership

• The giver must purely own it.

• No Zakat is due on the property which is Dimar.

• Some Companions are reported to have said, "Zakat is not due on a Dimar property, nor on the deferred amount of dower nor on the debt owed by an insolvent person.’’

• Growth of Wealth, Whether Real or Assumed

Real growth of wealth that is caused by its producing

offspring, or by gain realized from trade.

Assumed growth liability of property, such as gold,

silver and currencies to increase when exploited in trade.

No Zakat is due on properties that are not liable to real or assumed growth.

•Reaching Nisab (Minimum Amount Liable to

Zakat)• Zakat becomes due upon reaching the Nisab or

more than it

• Nisab of gold counted for Zakat is twenty dinars (85 grams) of fine gold, while the Nisab of silver is two hundred dirhams (595 grams) of fine silver.

• The Nisab of merchandise is an amount whose value equals eighty-five grams of gold.

• Exceeding One's Basic Needs

• Properties owned to meet one's basic requirements are excluded from Zakat.

• The same applies to the money dedicated to the repayment of debts, since the debtor is in need of this money to relieve himself from imprisonment and humiliation.

• The lapse of a full year

• A property is not counted for Zakat unless after the lapse of a full lunar year right from the day it reaches the Nisab.

• Forbidding Twice Payment of Zakat at the Same Year

• The crops or cattle are sold, thus transferred to cash money, this new type of property is not liable to Zakat in the same year in which Zakat is paid on the former type. "There is no repetition of Zakat.”said by Holy Prophet Muhammad(PBUH).

THE PUNISHMENT FOR NOT GIVING ZAKAT

Allah says in the Quran:   “On the Day of Judgment heat will be produced out of that wealth in the fire of Hell.” (Al‐Quran 9:34‐35)

Rasoolullah (SAWW) has said; "The nation that does not give Zakat, Allah will bring about a drought on them (i.e. necessities of life will become scarce)." 

(Bukhari)  on the Day of Qiyaamah, his wealth will be turned into a venomous bald serpent which will wind around his neck and bite his jaws and say: "I am your wealth, I am your treasure."
