The art of giving - Zakat

One of the compulsory items on the agenda during Ramadhan is the zakat.

What is Zakat?

One of the most important principles of Islam is that all things belong to God, and that wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The word zakat means both 'purification' and 'growth'. Our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need.

It is to contribute to the poor and disabled.

What better way than to start instilling such values from young?


Montel putting in money in the annual donation
box at Geylang Bazaar. The cheeky boy got
 pretty excited. I think he 'donated' about six times! :)
