Zakaat – A Cleanser and Enhancer
Reading Time: < 1 minute
“Take from their (the Mu-mineen’s) wealth Sadaqah, to cleanse them (from sins and the despicable trait of niggardliness), and to enhance them (that is, raise them to the stages of the honest and sincere Believers) therewith.”
It comes in the Hadeeth that Sadaqah (that is, the waajib category which is Zakaat) is a manifest proof (of Imaan).
(Qur’aan with explanatory notes from Daleelul Faaliheen)
