The institution of Zakat and Prohibition of Interest in Islam

The institution of Zakat and Prohibition of Interest in Islam

Definition of Zakat:

The Arabic word "Zakat" assumes vast meaning. It means "purification: growth: giving better part of a thing."

Zakat creates Islamic brotherhood of the whole of the world.

By establishing the system of Zakat, Allah desires to prepare a society among the Muslims themselves which surpasses in fellow- feeling and Islamic brotherhood. The giving and taking of the Zakat develops the society on a sound footing of love.

Allah enumerates countless blessings for the Muslims both in this world and the hereafter who pay Zakat, but for these people who do not pay Zakat, there are horrible torments of Fire for them, as described in the Qur'an.

Zakat is the pivot and hub of the Islamic finance. It covers moral, social and economic spheres. In the moral sphere Zakat washes away greed and selfishness of rich. In social sphere Zakat acts as unique measure vouchsafed by Islam to abolish poverty from the society by making the rich alive to the social responsibilities they have. In economic sphere, Zakat prevents the accumulation of wealth in a few hands and diffuses before it assumes threatening proportions in the hands of its possessors.

At numerous places in the Qur'an, Zakat has been associated  with Salat. 

The Qur'an categorically states that whoever wants to enter the brotherhood of Islam, shall have to establish regular Salat and pay Zakat regularly. Both are equally fundamental in importance.

The heads of expenditure of Zakat which have been clearly mentioned in the Qur'an are :

(1) disbursement in the aid of poor, and destitute and the disabled;

(2) to help winning the hearts;

(3) to help the needy;

(4) to help the debtor;

(5) to free slaves;

(6) to travellers, especially those who travel in the cause of Allah, who have run short of money.

Nisab of Zakat:

There is a Nisab of Zakat. Zakat is an annual charge on property which remains in the possessions of a person for a whole year, when its value reaches a certain limit called "Nisab".

Nisab differs with different kinds of property. But generally it is one-fortieth of a thing, animal or money.

Prohibition of Interest:

Allah in the Qur'an 2:275-277 says: "Those who take interest on their money do not rise except as rises one whom Satan has smitten with insanity. This is because they say: Trade is also like interest; whereas Allah has made trade lawful and made interest unlawful. So he to whom an admonition comes from his Rabb and he desists, then will that which he received in the past be his, and his affairs is with Allah. And those who revert to it, they are the inmates of the Fire; therein they shall abide. And Allah abolishes interest and causes Zakat to increase. And Allah does not like anyone who is a confirmed disbeliever and an arch-sinner. Surely those who believe and do good deeds, and establish Salat and pay Zakat, shall have their reward from their Rabb, and they shall have no fear, nor they shall have any grief."

The Qur'an cites examples of nations and individuals, which were destroyed and erased from the globe of the world, on account of their indulging in interest.

The Hadith also lays equal stress on the prohibition of interest.

The prophet Muhammad (Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) with inspired insight diagnosed the harm and misery caused by the wretched group of money-leaders and enjoined the Muslims not to lend money on interest. This is certainly one of the wisest of economic laws. A Hadith says that four persons, viz.

the money lender the person who takes money on interest, the writer of money-lending bargain and the witness, all shall be thrown into the Fire (Hell).

Concern for the Hereafter

Concern for the Hereafter in Islam

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

If you were to ask a pedestrian on the road" Where are you coming from and where are you going?" and he annoy us and cannot give us an answer then you will think that he is crazy. Yet in our lives, we are guilty of practically the same heedlessness. We too are neither aware of our beginning, nor are we concerned about our end. We cannot live forever in this world. The death will come to us some day and we will left alone in a Horrible, dark grave. Our house, buildings, business, Money and all luxuries things will all be left behind.

The people who Claim to love us so much will bury us under a mound of earth, leaving us alone.

It will be a start of other world, the grave is the door to the other world. The day is fast-approaching when every one will be presented before Allah in a state where there will be complete silence and no one will be able to speak except the Lord of the worlds. This day, only truth will carry any weight and other than this everything will become inconsequential. This will be the day of Judgement and only death stands between us and this day all of us are steadily moving towards an outcome where we will have either eternal happiness or perpetual punishment.

Every moment that passes bring us even closer to that final outcome which will be the fate of each one of us, we will have to face the repercussions of our deeds in this relatively short life for an eternity.
While the comforts of the hereafter are very pleasurable, as the Prophet PBNUH said:

"A (small) place equal to an area occupied by a whip in paradise is better than the (whole) world and whatever is in it." (BUKHARI)
its discomforts are indeed very painful. The Prophet S.A.W said:

"The least tormented of the inhabitants of the fire would be he who would wear two shoes of fire and his brain would boil an account of the heat of the shoes" (Muslim)

The similitude of our life is that of an ice vendor whose capital is dwindling away very moment.
The only only way he can save himself from loss is to try to sell the ice before it melts; otherwise he will have nothing to show for his efforts and will have to return from the market empty-handed. So before death overtakes us and separates us permanently from this world which is the place for action and takes us to a place where there is only the outcome of our actions; it is necessary for us to focus on putting our abilities and resources to correct use.

Consciously or unconsciously, people think this world to be the place of measuring their success or failure. In the Qur'an we are told that this is merely a deception.
" The day that He assembles you (all) for a day of Assembly that will be a day of mutual loss and gain (among you)" (9:64)

This will be an intensely terrifying moment of a person's life and when it comes, a person will be horrified at seeing himself in a situation so contrary to his expectations. Suddenly he will realise that the life of the world which he thought was the only reality was nothing but a deception. He had thought that that he was free to do whatever he wanted, but in the end he found himself himself to be totally helpless. He had thought himself to be wealthy, but in fact, in the hereafter, he was empty handed; he had thought that he was powerful, but in fact in God's sight, he was weaker than a fly or mosquito. In this world he had thought he had the support of so many people, but there he was totally on his own.

Oh! Man is unaware if that reality with which he should be most familiar!

whatever a person wishes to do for his Hereafter is to be done in this very life itself. We do not know how much or little period of our lives we have left. How many people have we seen who have passed away before our eyes!

This life is all we have, and if we lose this opportunity, unlike the exams of this world there will be no second chance! There is an absolute finality about this life because every moment that passes away, passes away never to return again.
Allah says in Qur'an:
Every soul shall have a taste of death: and only on the day of Judgement shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the fire and admitted to the garden will have attained the object (of life): for the life of this world is but goods and and chattels of deception(3:185)
This is an invitation to ponder on the reality of life. We earnestly request you to read it repeatedly and give it serious thought as we are sure that each one of you wants to be successful. It is also worth remembering that living Islam not only improves your Hereafter, but also the quality of your life in this very world.
Allah says in Qur'an:
Whoever works righteousness man or woman and has faith, verily to him will We give a new life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions."

I quoted it from an Pamphlet Named Concern for the Hereafter in the Light of Qur'an and Sunnah

Law of inheritance in Islam

Social Order of Islam (Islamic Law of inheritance)In the light of Qur'an:Islam divides property between males and females, where man usually gets double than woman. The distribution of property among males or females, sounds the financial position of both the groups. The Qur'an takes up this subject in Surat-un-Nisa The Qur'an in 4:7-13 and 127 says:"For men is a share of that which parents and near relations leave; and for women too is a share of that which parents and near relations leave, whether it be little or much, a determined share.""And when other relation of orphans and the poor are present at the division of the heritage, give them something there from and speak to them words of kindness. And let those who fear Allah, who, if they leave behind them their own weak offspring, would be anxious for them. Let them, therefore, fear Allah and let them say the right words. Surely they who devour the property of orphans unjustly, only swallow fire into their bellies, and they shall burn in a blazing fire.Allah commands you (O mankind) concerning your children: A male shall have as much as the share of two females; if there be females only numbering more than two, then they shall have two-thirds of what the deceased leaves; and if there be one, she shall have the half. And his parents shall have each of them a sixth of the inheritance, if he has a child; but if he has no child and his parents be his heirs, then his mother shall have a third; and if he has brothers and sisters then his mother shall have a sixth, after the payments of any bequests he may have bequeathed or of debt. Your father and your children, you do not know which of them is nearest to you in benefit. This fixing of portions is from Allah. Surely, Allah is All-knowing, wise. And you shall have half of that which your wives leave if they have no child; but if they have a child then you shall have a fourth of that which they have, after the payment of any bequest they may have bequeathed or of debt. And they shall have a fourth of that which you leave, if you have no child; but if you have a child, then they shall have an eight of that which you leave, after the payment of any bequests you may have bequeathed or of debt. And if there is a man or a woman whose heritage is to be divided and he or she has neither parent nor a child, and he or she has brother or a sister, then each one of them shall have a sixth. But if they be more than that, then they shall be equal sharer in one-thirds, after the payment of any bequests which may have been bequeathed or of debt, without prejudice to the debt. This is an injunction from Allah and Allah is The Knowing, Forbearer.These are the Limits set by Allah and whoever obeys Allah and His Prophet He will make him enter into Gardens through which streams flow; therein they shall live; and that is a great and supreme success. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Prophet and transgresses His limits. He will make him enter into Fire; therein shall he abide, and he shall have a humiliating punishment."They Ask you, (O! Prophet) for instructions. Say : Allah gives you (O! mankind) His instructions concerning Kalala. If a man dies leaving no child and he has a sister, then she shall have of what he leaves; and he shall inherit her if she has no child. But if there be two sisters, then they shall have two-thirds of what he leaves. And if the heirs be brethren, both men and women then the male shall have as much as the portion of two females. Allah explains this to you (O! mankind) lest you go astray. And Allah knows all things well."
