Zakat is a form of almsgiving treated in Islam as a religious obligation or tax, and is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It requires Muslims to donate a portion of their wealth to those in need, thus promoting social welfare and economic equity within society. This practice not only helps those less fortunate but also fosters a sense of community and accountability among individuals, linking faith with actions that support social justice.
