Fiqh al-Zakah

I present this study to the contemporary intelligentsia in Muslim countries, who have Muslim and Arab names and faces, but European, American, Russian, or Chinese hearts and minds, so they may realise that Islam is not a religion of asceticism that lives in the corner of life reserved for worship alone, but a religion and a state, a system and a faith, encompassing knowledge and action, meditation and endeavour, freedom and justice, rights and obligations. All these elements are most justly manifested in the system of Zakah.
