How to Pay Zakat from Kazakhstan?

Zakat: A Glorious Islamic Tradition

The relief that one feels when there is a support system at work for you cannot be described in words. Whether it is at the individual level, family level, or societal level, it feels great to have that invisible helping hand, there for you all the time. For Muslims, zakat is that invisible helping support system. Our world works in such a manner that some have more than others. But that doesn’t liberate the wealthier folks from the responsibility of taking care of the underprivileged Muslims. Islam has introduced the concept of zakat for this specific purpose so that financial stagnancy doesn’t engulf a Muslim society, an important concept in this context. Briefly speaking, it refers to a situation when all the wealth is locked up in the vaults of well-off individuals in a society.

Benefits of Giving Zakat

The benefits of zakat are numerous. However, we will be concerning ourselves with the financial benefits of zakat only in this discussion. Well, the underprivileged section of society deserves all the support they can get from us because they are our brothers and sisters. Folks, when it is said Islam is a complete code of life, this is what that statement means. All Muslims are a family bound by religion. And if some members of society are not well off financially, the zakat system is here to help them. It ensures that help reaches those who need it, without hurting the self-esteem and the pride of the needy ones. The system honors the pride of the poor and ensures that they are helped in a commendable manner. It provides the recipients of zakat with another chance at life and helps them afford basic amenities and facilities of life. One cannot imagine that happening in the absence of a support system like Zakat!
