Zakkat: The purifier
Zakkat: The purifier

those animals will be brought on the day of resurrection far bigger and fatter than before and they will tread him under their hooves and will hit him with their horns, and when the last has done its turn, the first will start again, and this punishment will continue until Allah has finished the judgment among people.
Grains are any dried fruits which sustain life like: wheat, barley, beans, corn, rice and so on. And the fruits are like dates, olive and raisins. As for his saying, The Glorified: “O you who believe! Spend of the good things which you have (legally) earned and of that which we have produced from the earth for you.” And “but pay the due thereof (its zakkat according to Allah’s orders 1/10th or 1/20th on the day of its harvest.”  (Al-Ana’m, 141).  And for the saying of the Prophet (PBUH): “There is no Sadaqah (Zakkat) on that which is less than five a wsuq (a wusq is 60 Sa’a) 4 mud. (Agreed upon).
Also his saying, (PBUH):  “From what is irrigated through rain and the like, then one tenth (1/10th) is due for it as Zakkat; and from what is irrigated through machine and the like, then a half of 20th (1/20th) is due as Zakkat.
As-sadakat (here it means zakkat). It is only for the poor, and the needy and those employed to collect (the funds) and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam) and to free the captives and for those in debt, and for Allah’s cause (i.e. those in a holy battle). And for the wayfarer (a traveler who is cut off from everything) a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is all-knower all-wise. (Qur’an 9:60)
Wealth earned from merchandise or from animals should be subjected to Zakkat without regard to whether it was kept for a year or not; and if the wealth is earned from sources other than trade or animals, it must remain until after one year providing it equals Nisab. Similarly, if the wealth is a gift to someone, he or she inherited it,  there is no Zakkat on it until after one year.
Wealth is a divine favour and blessing, yet it may become a trial and a cause of Allah’s indignation if man does not fulfill the duty concerning it, that is Zakkat. This is because Zakkat is a “right” that “must” be given to those who “deserve” it from among the poor and the needy and no one is allowed to withhold this right.
It is the duty of rulers to take Zakkat from defaulters by force and rebuke him and if they try to fight they should be fought until they yield and pay. Allah the exalted said: “But if they repent, perform As-Salat and give Zakkat, then they are brethren in religion.” Qur’an 9:11
Narrated Abu Hurairah (R.A) when the prophet (PBUH) died and Abu Bakr became his Successor and some of the Arab reverted to disbelief, Umar said, “O Abu Bakr! How can you fight these people although Allah’s messenger (PBUH) said, “I have been ordered to fight them till they say La ilaha illaha. And whoever say La ilaha illalah his property and his life are safe from me except for Islamic laws, then their reckoning account will be done by Allah?” Abu Bakr said “By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between Salat (prayer) and Zakkat as Zakkat is a right to be taken from the believer’s property.
