DIVINE TAX

Zakat is one of the five pillars of islam, its aim is to meet the social needs of the
Muslim Society and to improve the economic position in Islam.
The word Zakat means purification, blessing and increasing. It is a kind of protection
of the wealth of those who are rich. When a Muslim pays his zakat he is protecting his
money from unexpected disaster, for the prophet said, “Protect your prophet by giving
Zakat and help your relatives to recover from their illness by giving charity”.
Zakat is an obligatory payment, like a tax, and the English translation is “poor dues”
It could be called a divine tax, for it has been prescribed by God in the holy Qur’an
and in the sayings of the prophet. The holy Qur’an says in many places, “Keep up
regular prayer and give Zakat, “and one of the sayings of the prophet when Mu’az
was sent to Yemen was,”You will come to folk who are people of the book, so invite
them to testify that there is no God but God and that Muhammad is God’s Messenger.
If they obey that, tell them that God has made it obligatory for them to pray five times
every twenty four hours. If they obey that, tell them that God has made it obligatory
for them for sadaqa to be taken from the rich and handed over to the poor. If they
obey that, do not take the best part of their property, and have regard to the clain of
him who is wronged, for there is no veil it and God”.
There are many kinds of zakat: zakat al- fitr which is an obligatory payment by a
Muslim slave or freeman, male or female, young and old, and it should be made
before ‘Id prayer. It is usually given from the food of the majority: rice, wheat, or
grain. The cost of this could be given instead and it is preferable, in a country like
Indonesia, for it to be done by giving money. Nowadays, one must pay Rp. 1,500.00
for each member of the family, including the servant (if there is a servant) and one’s
parents, if one is responsible for them. Ibn ‘Abbas said that God’s messenger
prescribed the zakat relating to the breaking of the fast as a purification from empty
and obscene words and as food for the poor.
Other kinds of zakat are zakat al-mal, meaning money zakat, either gold or silver,
zakat al-tijara,meaning trade zakat,zakat al-an’am meaning cattle zakat, involving
camels, cows or sheep, zakat al-zuru’ wa al-thammar, meaning cereals and fruit.These
last two are of one kind. For zakat to be compulsory there must be to conditions:
firstly, that it much reach the nisab and, secondly, that it must havebeen owned by the
prayer for one complete year.
Islam has prescribed zakat for all kinds of property for the benefit of needy people. It
is not always paid in money but, in some cases, in cattle, cereals and fruit asin africa
and similar countries. But in more developed countries, trade and business are the
most common ways of paying zakat and money is used for this purpose. The aim of
collecting zakat is to serve members of society and to meet their needs and help them
to overcome the difficulties they are facing. Some people are in difficulty because the
heaven’t the ability to work, some because they meet with disaster of some kind and
some because they are old and need help. zakat in islam is the source of security from
any hardship for all members of society. Those who have the right to receive money
from zakat are mentioned in the holy Qur’an.
In case there is nobody who is need of zakat. It will be collected and the head
of the community will spend it for the benefit of the whole, using it for example,
forthe building of school, hospitals, mosques or other similar things.
