Zakat Explanation

• During the time of the prophet zakat means
  religion tax obligation. Like prayer, zakat is a
  form of worship. Zakat symbolize social
  responsibility where an islamic follower who is
  wealthy must remember those who are poorer. Zakat
  determine fix portion from a Moslem's property
  for the community prosperity in general and the
  poor specifically.
• This tax is often collected by government, yet
  when there is no governmental system that
  regulate it, this tax should be performed by the
  Muslim community on their own. Beside this, all
  Moslems are encouraged to give to the poor
  voluntarily.
• Giving money to poor fakir and conducting shalat
  usually mentioned together in Al-Qur'an, because
  both are visible manifestation/proof for someone
  Islamic faith

Zakat Verses

• Surah 2261 The parable of those who spend
  their substance in the way of Allah is that of a
  grain of corn it groweth seven ears, and each
  ear Hath a hundred grains. Allah giveth manifold
  increase to whom He pleaseth And Allah careth
  for all and He knoweth all things.
• Surah 2271 - If ye disclose (acts of) charity,
  even so it is well, but if ye conceal them, and
  make them reach those (really) in need, that is
  best for you It will remove from you some of
  your (stains of) evil. And Allah is well
  acquainted with what ye do.
• Surah 9103 - Of their goods, take alms, that so
  thou mightest purify and sanctify them and pray

  of security for them And Allah is One Who
  heareth and knoweth.

Punishment for those who does not pay Zakat
According to Abu Hurairaih, Rasulullah SAW
said,"Whoever granted by Allah wealth yet does
not give out the zakat, on the judgement day, he
will be visited by a very poisonous and scary
bald male snake with 2 dots above its eyes, which
wrap and bite his neck and shouts, " I am your
wealth, I am your wealth that you accumulated in
the past" (Hadith Bukhari) In another Hadith,
Rasulullah SAW said, "Owner of gold or silver who
does not fulfil his obligation, the gold and
silver on the day of judgement will be made into
ironing tool, which is heated up by the fire of
hell, and then rubbed to his rub, face and back
for 50 thousand years, until complete the
calculation with other people, to see if he will
enter heaven or hell. And owner of cow or goat
who does not fulfil his obligation, then on
judgement day, those animals will be trampling
and barging on him, as soon as one finish,
another will come to do the same until finish the
calculation with others, to see if he enter
heaven or hell." (HR Muslim)
