Quran Say About Zakat

Allah says of Zakat in the very early Makkan surah Al-Muzzammil (The Mantle-Wrapped One) (73):

Yet you shall duly establish the Prayer. And you shall give the Zakât-Charity, and therewith lend God a most goodly loan. For whatever good you advance for your souls, you shall find its reward with God in the Hereafter; yet it shall be far better and much greater in reward (Sûrat Al-Muzzammil, 73:20).

Also:

Then steadfastly continue to duly establish the Prayer, and give the Zakât-Charity (Sûrat Al-Mujâdilah,, 58:13).

And:

For woe to those who associate gods with God, those who do not give the Zakat-Charity, those who are disbelievers in the Hereafter (Sûrat Fuṣṣilat 41:7).

Note that this defining Zakat verse from Sûrat Al-Tawbah (9) actually uses the word ṣadaqah (prescribed charitable offerings) in its Quranic legal meaning of Zakat:

Indeed, ‘prescribed charitable offerings’ are only to be given to the poor and the indigent, and to those who work on administering it, and to those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free those in bondage, and to the debt-ridden, and for the cause of God, and to the wayfarer. This is an obligation from God. And God is all-knowing, all-wise (9:60).

Is Zakat purely transactional in the Quran?

No. Allah equates Zakat with high spiritual development and, indeed, with belief itself. One can see both these aspects in the first two verses mentioned in the previous question’s response.

Muslim scholars define knowledge in and of Islam not by the information one retains regarding it, even if that is vast, but by the implementation of that revealed guidance with conscious gratitude in one’s life, no matter how little or minor that conversion of revealed counsel into deliberate action may seem.

 

الَّذِيْنَ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَ يُـقِيْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰھُمْ يُنْفِقُوْنَ    

جو بن دیکھے ایمان لاتے ہیں اور نماز قائم کرتے ہیں اور جو کچھ ہم نے انہیں دیا ہے اس میں خرچ کرتے ہیں

Those who believe in the unseen and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them. 

SURAH BAKRAH AYAT NUMBER 30

خُذْ مِنْ اَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَـةً تُطَهِّرُھُمْ وَتُزَكِّيْهِمْ بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ ۭ اِنَّ صَلٰوتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّھُمْ ۭ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ    ١٠٣؁

آپ ان کے مالوں میں سے صدقہ لیجئے، جس کے ذریعہ سے آپ ان کو پاک صاف کر دیں اور ان کے لئے دعا کیجئے  بلاشبہ آپ کی دعا ان کے لئے موجب اطمینان ہے اور اللہ  تعالیٰ خوب سنتا ہے جانتا ہے۔

SURAH TOBAH  AYAT NUMBER 103

In Quran E Kareem

Allah Subhana Tala have ordered on many places about Zakah. It is the obligation to pay zakah. Whoever will delay in giving the zakat is doing sin. Who donot pay Zakat on its wealth is not in the circle of Muslim. Because orders about Zakat are given in Quran Pak, and one who will not obey the teaching of Quran, he/she is not obeying the orders of Allah. So Dear ones, who are reading this articles must focus on paying zakat, and must tell to all Muslim community where they can approach.
