When the journey of humankind on Earth began, Allah (swt) bestowed upon humans great blessings such as intellect and conscience, allowing us to find truth and righteousness. Alongside these, He conveyed revelation, the path to peace and happiness, through His prophets.
One of the important concepts that our religion, Islam, strongly emphasises is the concept of rights. Islam has clearly defined and described the rights of all living beings in detail.
Human beings naturally seek a spouse, a home, trust, commitment, support, love, care, peace and compassion; in short, the experience of being part of a family. A family is a complete and rich unit that goes beyond simply being large or small.
Allah (swt) has explained what is lawful (halal) and unlawful (haram) through the books He revealed and the messengers He sent. He has commanded those who believe in Him to live their lives within the framework of these commands and prohibitions.
We are about to end a month in which our bodies have recovered through fasting, our wealth has been purified through zakat and charity and many blessings have been experienced in both our material and spiritual lives.
In this sacred month, through fasting, we purify ourselves from sins. Our spiritual world develops with the recitation of the Qur'an. By applying the verses to our lives, our words and actions find the right path.One of the five fundamental principles upon which Islam is built is zakat. Zakat is an compulsory act of worship commanded by Allah.
