Charity is a cornerstone of our faith, yet many of us often confuse the specific obligations of Zakat with the voluntary act of Sadqa. Understanding these can help you maximize the spiritual and social impact of your wealth.

What is Zakat?

Zakat is a mandatory pillar of Islam, calculated as 2.5% of your savings and assets. It is a right of the poor upon the wealthy. It is not just charity; it is a system of social justice designed to circulate wealth and eliminate poverty.

• Best use: Monthly rations, debt relief for the poor, and direct financial aid.

What is Sadqa and Sadqa Jariya?

Unlike Zakat, Sadqa is voluntary and can be given at any time to ward off calamities or express gratitude. Sadqa Jariya (ongoing charity) is even more powerful—investing in projects like water pumps or schools that continue to reward you even after death.
