"Say We believe in God and what is revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and I`saac and Jacob and the Tribes, and what was entrusted to Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to Him we have surrendered." (Quran 3: 84)

Charity (arabic=Zakaat)

Zakaat is the Annual Tax on Wealth/Charity for the Poor Or The Purification Tax. Each year Muslims who have assets over and above their outstanding debts, assets of roughly $1400 in cash or commercial goods and commodities, must voluntary pay two and one-half percent of such assets to the poor. Read the following articles:
