C,+CLUSI,+
• There is no other way or system that urges the acti"eworship of llah in its general and most comprehensi"esense other than *slam3
• +ox example2 *slam teaches that -uslims should fast
for a month e"ery year 7i3e3 )amadan8 in order toac6uire piety and self@discipline and to de"elopawareness of the needs and problems of others whoare star"ing or are in desperate need of food3
• Such an awareness of the needs of others is not
enough on its own3 Therefore2 Ka#aah 7obligatorycharity8 is prescribed to be distributed among thesegments of society that are in need of indi"idual and
communal assistance3
