To Whom It May Concern!

Zakat; a duty we must not forgive. Few general points are added as a reminder.

1- Don’t wait uptil the last of Ramadan, give it as soon as possible.
2- It is not prohibited if you announce your zakat. Since it is a Farz and Faraiz can be showed off. In case of Nawafils (donations etc), showing off is wrong. So do tell others about your zakat to motivate and encourage them.
3- Don’t waste time in investigations. It is your right to investigate, but don’t be too much of James Bond. Allah will inshahallah reward your intention.
4- Don’t look upon the justifications in shortening the due amount of zakat. It is 2.5 % on your savings. That is you have to multiply 0.025 with your amount.
5- If you wont give the right amount, whatever will happen to you on the Judgment Day is one thing, but dear ones; look around you. Haven’t you seen misery and you never found any child begging for food or doing labor?
Don’t think of what people do, give your due and accurate amount to help society; a Muslim Society.
