Zakat is not just a charity—it’s a powerful system to help solve one of the biggest problems: poverty.

Zakat is a compulsory duty in Islam. Every eligible Muslim must give a small part of their wealth to the poor and needy. When done properly, Zakat helps share wealth fairly and supports those who are suffering.

The main goal of Zakat is to remove poverty from society. It helps the poor live with dignity, and it also reminds the rich to care about others.

If everyone follows the Zakat system sincerely, many poor people can get help with food, clothes, housing, and education. It also brings unity in society and reduces the gap between rich and poor.

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the Rightly Guided Caliphs used Zakat to support orphans, widows, and travelers. This proves that Islam always works to build a fair and kind society.
