The Excellence and Obligation of the Payment of Zakat
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"
And perform Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat.
'' (2:43
)
"And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allah, and worship none but Him Alone
(abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, and
that is the right religion.
'' (98:5)
"
Take Sadaqah (alms) from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it
.'' (9:103)

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
(The structure
of) Islam is built on five (pillars): Testification of `La ilaha illallah' (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah),
that Muhammad (PBUH) is his slave and Messenger, the establishment of Salat, the payment of Zakat, the
pilgrimage to the House of Allah (Ka`bah), and Saum during the month of Ramadan
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already been mentioned. Here it is repeated to emphasize that Zakat is one of the
five pillars of Islam. Every Muslim who has fifty-two and a half Tola (
a Tola is about 12 grams
) silver or cash
equivalent to it in excess of his need, and a year has passed since its possession is liable to pay it. One who has
seven and a half Tola or more gold also comes in this category. It should be evaluated in terms of money and Zakat
at the rate of 2.5% to be paid on it.

Talhah bin `Ubaidullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A person with dishevelled hair, one of the
people of Najd, came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). We heard the humming of his voice but could not fully
understand what he was saying, till he approached close to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). Then I came to know
that he was asking about Islam. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "
There are five (obligatory) Salat during the
day and the night.
" He said: "Am I obliged to perform any other (Salat) besides these?'' The Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) said, "
No, but whatever you observe voluntarily
.'' He (PBUH) added, "
There is the Saum of Ramadan
.'' The
inquirer asked: "Am I obliged to do anything besides this?'' The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
No, but
whatever you do out of your own free will. You may observe voluntary fasting
.'' And the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) told him about the Zakat (obligatory charity). The inquirer asked: "Am I obliged to pay anything besides
this?'' The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
No, but whatever you pay voluntarily out of your own free will
.'' That
man turned back saying: "By Allah! I will neither make any addition to this nor will I decrease anything from it.''
(Upon hearing this) the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) remarked, "
He is successful if he proves truthful (to what he is
saying
).''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith highlights the following three points:
1. The status of some of the important obligations and voluntary prayers.
2. By mentioning practice with the precepts, it has made the fact evident that the two are inseparable.
3. It indicates the sagacious mode of preaching and invitation, and tells that ordinary people should be first of all
taught the obligations of Islam and then gradually told to follow the Sunnah and Mustahabbat (
desirable acts
).
