Short Introduction:
I
wrote this treatise in order to sincerely advise and remind [the Muslims] about
the obligation of Zakaah, a matter in which many Muslims have been too careless
and lenient. Many do not offer their Zakaah in accordance to what has been
legislated in the religion, despite its greatness and its being one of the five
pillars of Islam without which it (Islam) cannot stand. The Prophet (PBUH)
said: “Islam has been built (by Allah) upon five: The testimony (Shahaadah)
that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah (Laa ilaaha ill Allah, Muhammad ur Rasoolullaah); establishing
Salaah, giving Zakaah, Fasting (Sawm) the month of Ramadan, and performing Hajj
to the House [of Allah] (the Ka’bah).” (Bukhari and Muslim) The fact that
Zakaah is an obligation upon the Muslims is one of the most apparent
indications of the beauty of Islam and the concern it has for its adherents.
The benefits of Zakaah are indeed numerous, and [it has been made obligatory]
due to the dire need of the poor amongst the Muslims.
