GCSE topic:

Zakat is the act of giving a portion of wealth to help those in need. For Muslims, this is not just charity—it is a duty and one of the Five Pillars of Islam. They believe that all wealth ultimately comes from Allah, and by sharing it, they show gratitude for what they have been given.

Through Zakat, Muslims support people who are poor, hungry, sick, or struggling. This helps to create a more fair and caring society, where everyone is looked after. It also reminds Muslims that money and possessions are not the most important things in life; what truly matters is kindness, compassion, and generosity.

Zakat teaches Muslims the value of sharing with others and encourages them to put the needs of the community before their own desires. It brings people closer together and strengthens the bonds between rich and poor. By giving in this way, Muslims believe they grow closer to Allah, because they are following His command to care for others.
