Quote:Bismillah:
According to the Catholic Church, Sacraments are outward signs of inward grace, to be done for people’s sanctification or purification.
In Islam we have another system called Zakah which serves the same purpose.
Zakah is The third pillar of Islam which means alms-tax. The word in Arabic implies "purification" and it is understood to mean that a person "purifies" his holdings of wealth from greed and stinginess.
Salam
Wael.
So how do Muslims perform Zakah?
