Quick Guide to charity in Islam Part 1

I believe charity is a genetically embedded trait in every creation of God. Humanity cannot exist without philanthropic activities. Religion can regulate human beings’ activities on earth and enable them to bring justice to their society and preserve the rights of every member within that society.

One of the five pillars of Islam is Zakat, which is the annual donation to help the poor. Charity in the form of Zakat is one of the charitable activities a Muslim can make, as money is one of the many means of charitable contributions to the society.

It is essential to understand that Muslims have to undertake charitable activities, rich or poor.
