Dear brothers! Zakat is the basic pillar of Islam and became Fard in 2 Hijri before the Siyam. 1/40 th part of the Nisab (i.e. 2.5%) will have to be given as Zakat. It is proven from the Holy Quran that Zakat is Fard; one who denies it is a Kafir. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ has stated, ‘The foundation of Islam is on five acts: To testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ and Muhammad صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ is His Rasool; to offer Salah; to pay Zakat; to perform Hajj; and to observe Sawm of Ramadan.’View More

In this universe, the Prophets and the angels are innocent and the Auliya are saved by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ from sins. Either deliberately or unwittingly, common men end up committing sins. Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ has not only given warnings on committing sins, He has also encouraged people to ask for His forgiveness and Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ has called Himself as Ghaffar (The forgiver), so that people have hope that Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ may forgive them and the height of His benevolence is that in this limited earthly life, He has granted many special days and nights in which the sinners are forgiven.
