Zakat Distribution in Ramadan
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and a sacred obligation upon every eligible Muslim. It is not only an act of worship but a powerful system of social responsibility designed to reduce poverty, uplift the needy, and purify wealth.
During the blessed month of Ramadan, the rewards of good deeds multiply, making it the most preferred time to fulfill your Zakat obligation.
At Skill Development Foundation (SDF), we ensure that your Zakat is handled with complete transparency, dignity, and strict Shariah compliance, reaching those who truly deserve it.
What Is Zakat In Islam?
The word Zakat means purification and growth. In Islam, Zakat purifies a person’s wealth and heart from greed and selfishness while strengthening compassion and social balance.
“And establish prayer and give Zakat, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves – you will find it with Allah.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:110)
Zakat is different from Sadaqah, which is voluntary charity. Zakat is compulsory and must be given according to specific rules defined in the Quran and Sunnah.
