Zakāt

Beliefs & concepts

The named obligatory purifying due on wealth in Islamic speech. Not tithe as the tenth alone, and not sadaqa as voluntary charity.

Also known as Zakat

Islam

  • Zakāt is used in Islam.

    The Qur’an continually commands zakāt — the purifying due on wealth — beside prayer. Islamic alms-due use in that revelation, not charity as the English virtue already walked and not almsgiving as the broader giving-speech alone.
