Zakat
All, who take shelter under the flag of Islam, are to carry out several religious duties. Zakat is one of those religious duties, which is a matter of great importance in Islam. It is the third pillar of Islam. In accordance with the teachings of Islam, Zakat stands for regular and mandatory charity, which is given in Allah's name to the poor and the needy by the Muslim community.
According to Islam, the holy month of Ramadan is better than any other time of the year to give Zakat as well as stand by the under-privileged members of society.
