CAN YOU REMEMBER WHICH OF THE FIVE PILLARS IS TO DO WITH MONEY?

What is Zakah?Zakah = to purify

All Muslims who are wealthy enough must perform this act of charity in order for their wealth to be purified in the eyes of Allah.

Most Muslims believe that Allah blesses them with wealth and therefore it is their duty to give some back to those most needy. This

helps to purify their money and prevents greed.

As Zakah is one of the Five Pillars of Islam it is an obligation which all Muslims must act upon.
