Zakaat Fund

At Arrahman Welfare Foundation Canada, we understand that Zakaat is not merely an
obligation but a divine opportunity to purify wealth and contribute to the welfare of others.
As one of the five pillars of Islam, Zakaat requires Muslims who possess a certain level of
wealth to donate 2.5% of their savings annually to those in need. This powerful act of charity
is not just a financial transaction; it is a profound form of worship and spiritual growth. Allah
(SWT) tells us in the Qur’an:
“Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase.”
(Surah At-Tawbah 9:103). Zakaat serves as a reminder that wealth is a gift entrusted to us by
Allah, and it is our duty to share it with those less fortunate.
The essence of Zakaat lies in its ability to create balance within society by redistributing
wealth and resources. This act of giving bridges the gap between the rich and the poor,
offering support to those struggling with poverty, illness, and misfortune. Through Zakaat,
we ensure that no one in our community is left behind. It provides a sense of justice and
compassion, fostering a collective sense of responsibility and solidarity. The Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) said: “The best of people are those who are most beneficial to others.”
By giving your Zakaat through Arrahman Welfare Foundation, you ensure that your
contribution reaches those who need it most, whether it’s providing a nutritious meal,
access to medical care, or supporting a child’s education. Each donation helps uplift
individuals and families, giving them the opportunity to improve their lives and their futures.
Your Zakaat has the power to heal, rebuild, and inspire. It is a means of spreading peace,
promoting justice, and ensuring that no one in need is overlooked. As you give, remember
that you are investing not only in the lives of those less fortunate but also in your own
spiritual growth.
