The correct answer is Purification.

The word Zakat means both 'purification' and 'growth'. Our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need. The foundation of Islam is held up by the five pillars, and Zakat forms the third pillar. It refers to the determined share of wealth prescribed by Allah s.w.t, to be distributed to the eight groups of beneficiaries (asnaf). It is a form of worship (ibadah) in terms of wealth.

Allah mentions in the Quran, “The parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of God is that of a grain of corn. It grows seven ears and each ear has a hundred grains. God increases manifold to whom He pleases.”

Surah (Al-Baqarah 2:261).

“Zakat is for the poor and the needy, and amil (those employed to administer the funds), for the muallaf (those who have embraced Islam), for those in bondage and in debt, those who strive in the cause of Allah and for the wayfarer; (thus it is) ordained by Allah and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.” 

Surah (At-Taubah 9:60).

The correct answer is it is a mandatory for muslims to pay Zakat yearly once the requirement is met.

Nisab: To fulfill your Zakat Harta obligation, your savings must be above the nisab. (For more information on the current nisab, kindly visit: https://zakat.sg/current-past-nisab-values)

Haul: Zakat is only payable if you have completed the Haul, which is a period of 1 Hijri year(355 days). For first-timers, your Haul period begins when your savings account first meets the Nisab. For recurring Zakat payers, Haul period begins from the last Zakat payment due. (For more information, kindly visit:https://zakat.sg/what-is-zakat/)

" Charity does not decrease wealth, no one forgives another except that Allah increases his honor, and no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah except that Allah raises his status ".

(Sahih Muslim: 2588).

(O Prophet)! "Take alms(zakat) out of their riches and thereby cleanse them and bring about their growth (in righteousness), and pray for them. Indeed your prayer is a source of tranquility for them. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

The correct answer is in the month of Ramadhan.

Zakat Fitrah was decreed in the second year of Hijrah, the same year that fasting in Ramadan was made obligatory. It is prescribed as a means of purification for the person who fasts, redressing wrong deeds and undesirable characteristics performed during fasting.

However, Zakat Fitrah is primarily meant as a relief aid for the poor and needy. Zakat Fitrah payment can be made throughout the month of Ramadan but must be before the start of Eidul Fitri prayers. If it is paid after Eidul Fitri prayers it becomes just an ordinary charity.

The correct answer is Eight. Allah has ordained that Zakat be distributed to eight categories of people.

8 categories who have the rights to receive Zakat:

1. The poor (al-fuqara’), meaning low-income or indigent.
2. The needy (al-masaakin), meaning someone who is in difficulty.
3. Zakat administrators.
4. Those whose hearts are to be reconciled, meaning new Muslims and friends of the Muslim community.
5. Those in bondage (slaves and captives).
6. The debt-ridden.
7. One who strives in the cause of Allah for the betterment of the community.
8. The wayfarer, meaning those who are stranded or traveling with few resources.

 "Zakat expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect [zakat] and for bringing hearts together [for Islam] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the [stranded] traveler - an obligation [imposed] by Allah".

The correct answer is All of the above.

In Islam, the concept of worship(Ibadah) is a very wide concept which encompasses more than carrying out ritual acts of praying, fasting, giving Zakat and performing pilgrimage(Hajj). Any word said or act executed with the intention to seek Allah’s pleasure is considered Ibadah in Islam. For Muslims, Ibadah is very much a part of life and can be incorporated into normal day-to-day activities if they are performed in harmony with the commands of Allah.

"Indeed, I am Allah. There is no God except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance".

Surah (Taha 20:14).

"The believers are encouraged to remember Allah as much as possible: “O believers! Remember God often.”

Surah (Al-Ahzaab 33:41).
