realized that his face was not the face of a liar. The first thing he said was:

“O people, spread (the greeting of) Salam, offer food to people and pray

possess any wealth, or whose income is less than ⅓ of what he

[2] These are the “needy; those in need” or (those slightly better-

“whose income is still less than ⅔ of what he needs to sustain

livelihood for himself and family under his care.”

Muslims from having to beg.Muslims from having to beg.

‘‘AAMILEEN – ‘AMILAAMILEEN – ‘AMIL


[4] The literal translation of this group is “those whose hearts are

reconciled (i.e. towards accepting Islam)”.

This is to ensure new Muslims’ every need is provided for,

even those who may be rich, they are entitled to disbursement

from the Islamic treasury.

MU-ALLAF MU-ALLAF


[5] From the word meaning “neck” – it refers to the ransoming or free

Muslims from slavery.

This shows that every Muslim must be freed from all forms of slavery or

from being under oppression. Their freedom must be accorded for them (if

need be) using the zakat funds.

Although chattel slavery no longer exist, yet Islamic scholars are known to

apply ‘Qiyas’ (juristic analogy) for what may constitute modern ‘slavery’.

RI-QAABRI-QAAB


[6] These are “those who are indebted”.

We differentiate “debt” from “loan”. Loan is merely one who

can afford to repay what he owes, except that it be deferred. He

is not what we mean by “one who is indebted”.

“Those indebted” are akin to “Faaqir & Miskeen” but in a temporary sense, because of

unforeseen expenditure incurred due to misfortune, sickness, accident, calamities etc.

GHAA-RIMEENGHAA-RIMEEN


[7] Literally, it means “those (fighting, striving) in the Way of Allah”.

This is for those Muslim “Mujahideen” in the way of Allah,

during war as fighters; and In peace time, it include the “Mujahid

of Da’wah” i.e. those striving to “raise the kalimah of Allah, to be

highest” in the field of spreading the teachings of Islam through

Da’wah.

FEE-SABI-LILLAAHFEE-SABI-LILLAAH


[8] This refers to Muslim “travellers or wayfarer”.

A Muslim traveller in need, has rights to zakat funds, wherever or

whenever he encounters difficulty while travelling in Muslim lands. In

fact, there were times in history that the Islamic state provided 3 days

hospitality in caravanserais (Musafir-kana) managed by Islamic

treasury (Bayt-ul-Maal) , for every Muslim travellers.

“ Those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah and

follow not up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or

with injury,― for them their reward is with their Lord; on

them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. ”

(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 262)


“and [true servants of the Most Gracious are they] who,

whenever they spend on others, are neither wasteful nor

niggardly but [remember that] there is always a just mean

between those [two extremes];”

(Qur’an: Furqan: 25: 67 )
