A Believer's Guide to Zakat

Zakat, an obligatory almsgiving, is one of the five pillars of Islam. The importance of this Islamic obligation is highlighted by the fact that it is directly linked to the ritual prayer (salaat) by Allah in the Qur'an on thirty-two occasions.Tragically, it has become something of a fallen pillar amongst Muslims today. This book guides on the significance of zakat—one of Islam’s five pillars—by exploring its Qur’anic foundations, prophetic teachings, and legal rulings in a clear, accessible way. Covering who must pay, how, when, and to whom, it also includes the proper etiquette for both giver and recipient of the zakat. Authored by renowned Syrian scholar Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Burhani, this work offers both clarity and depth for anyone seeking to fulfill this vital obligation.
