ZAKAT
-If a person to whom God has given wealth
does not give zakat, he will find that,
on the Day of Judgement,
his wealth turns into a poisonous snake
with two black spots on its head.
It will be like a yoke around his neck.
Then it will seize him by jaws and declare,
'I am your wealth. I am your treasure.'
-When you pay zakat you have done your duty,
as is obligatory.
But a person who amasses unlawful wealth and then
makes gifts to the poor from it will have
no spiritual reward for so doing.
On the contrary, he will carry burden of it
with him into the next world.
-Allah has made the Muslim duty bound to pay zakat.
It will be released from the wealthy to be distributed among the needy.
-The owner of any land which is irrigated by water or a stream, or which is situated close to a river, is obliged to give one tenth of its produce to the needy.
The owner of such land as irrigated by methods, will pay half this amount.
-Secret alms extinguish the anger of the Lord.
