blessings in our sustenance that are beyond our imagination. As Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said in Part 28, Surah At-Talaaq, Ayah No. 2 and 3:

وَ مَنْ یَّتَّقِ اللّٰهَ یَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مَخْرَجًاۙ(۲) وَّ یَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَیْثُ لَا یَحْتَسِبُؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهٗؕ     

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And whoever fears Allah, Allah will create for him a way of salvation. And (Allah) will provide him sustenance from where he could not imagine; and whoever relies on Allah, so He is Sufficient for him.

(Part 28, Surah At-Talaaq, Ayah 2, 3)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Concept of Zakah in Islam

Dear Islamic brothers! Not paying Zakah is also one of the causes for having reduction in sustenance and economic decline. Remember! Zakah is a basic pillar of Islam and an extremely important act of worship performed by the means of finance. It is such an effective system which benefits the poor and destitute people of the society. If all wealthy people pay Zakah correctly, then poverty would completely vanish. The Holy Quran strongly warns those who do not pay Zakah. Therefore, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ says in part 10, Surah e Taubah, Ayah no. 34:

وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَكْنِزُوْنَ الذَّهَبَ وَ الْفِضَّةَ وَ لَا یُنْفِقُوْنَهَا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِۙ-فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍۙ(۳۴)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And those who pile up gold and silver and do not spend in Allah’s Way, give them the glad tidings of a painful punishment.

(Part 10, Surah At-Taubah, Ayah 34)
