Zakāh (Arabic: زكاة IPA: [zækæːh], sometimes "Zakāt") or "alms giving", one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is the giving of a small percentage of one's income to charity. It is often compared to the system of tithing and alms, but it serves principally as the welfare contribution to poor and deprived people in Muslim countries, although others may have a rightful share. It is the duty of an Islamic state not just to collect zakat but to distribute it fairly as well.
Muslims fulfill this religious obligation by giving a fixed percentage of their surplus wealth. Zakāh has been paired with such a high sense of righteousness that it is often placed on the same level of importance as offering Ṣalāt. Muslims see this process also as a way of purifying themselves from their greed and selfishness and also safeguarding future business. In addition, Zakāh purifies the person who receives it because it saves him from the humiliation of begging and prevents him from envying the rich. Because it holds such a high level of importance the "punishment" for not paying when able is very severe. In the 2nd edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam it states, "...the prayers of those who do not pay Zakāh will not be accepted".
Minimums and amounts :
It is an obligation on Muslims to pay 1/40 (2.5%) of the wealth which they have had for a full lunar year, 1/40 (2.5%) of goods used for trade, and 5% or 10% of certain type of harvests depending on irrigation. Exempt from Zakāh are a person's house and personal transportation.
