About ISLAM

Zakat al-Fitr

What is Zakat ul-Fitr? Think “Iftar”, Zakat Ul-Fitr is the charity that we pay at the end of Ramadan. Some confuse Zakat ul-Fitr with Zakat ul-Maal. Zakat Al-Maal (Maal literally means wealth), is the Zakah due on one’s money.

Ibn `Umar reported that the Prophet (SAWS), made Zakat al-Fitr compulsory on every slave,freeman, male, female, young and old among the Muslims; one Saa' (a measurement: four double handfuls) of dried dates or one Saa' of barley.
[Sahih Bukhari - Arabic/English, vol. 2, p. 339, no. 579]

Ibn Abbas (ra) reported that the more...

Last Sermon of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)

His sermon was delivered on the Ninth Day of Dhul-Hijjah (Islamic Calendar) i.e. 10 A.H. on Mount of Rahmat in the plains of 'Arafat in Mecca, during the Hajj pilgrimage.
After praising and thanking Allah the Prophet (saws) said: "O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today.

O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that he will indeed reckon your deeds. Allah more...
