  needy people while you are alive. This way
  whenever you die you are able to carry good deed
  and thoughts along with you.

What is Zakat?

• Charity is also known as Zakat in Islam religion.
  Zakat is giving alms to people who are in need.
  It is one of the five pillars of Islam religion.
  Every individual owns certain amount of wealth,
  so every Muslim can donate certain portion of
  their earning or savings to the poor and needy.
  It is not mandatory to donate or recommended, but
  a Muslim who is financially stable must donate
  money for people who are in need.
• According to Islamic religion, people receive
  wealth and money from God, so they can share it
  among the members in their community who are in
  need. Islam religion encourages people to share
  their wealth and help others this will increase
  productive members in the society and also enable
  each man to take a stand of their own.

Why should you Donate?

• Zakat is not voluntary or mandatory but it is an
  obligation. According to Islamic religion,
  whatever a person own is given to them by Allah
  and they do not own any of it. Thus the wealth
  and things which they own must be used to
  remember Allah and to help others who are in
  need. Zakat is also an act which helps to free
  oneself from greed, excess desires and learn
  self-discipline.

• Zakat means purification in Arabic it helps
  purify persons heart from greed and evil
  thoughts. Everyone loves their wealth and always
  tries to protect it. Thus, every wealthy Muslim
  who is capable to donate or contribute must share
  2.5 of their annual income to the poor and
  needy. Zakat is also a thanksgiving to Allah as
  he is the one who has given them all the wealth
  and riches. When a person dies no one will
  remember how much money or wealth he owns, people
  always remember the good deeds or bad deeds done
  by one. There are various Muslim charities UK
  organizations that collect money, food and other
  things from donors. Hence individuals willing to
  contribute can approach to such organizations and
  give their share to them.
