Zakat is the fourth pillars of Islam, in which it also known as a necessity to someone who has claimed that they are people of faith and have complete devotion only in Allah S.W.T. It is a practice of offering away a specialized percentage of earnings in some way, with specified criteria and settings, to those who identified that al-mustahiqqin (beneficiaries) and then the maqasid (purpose) of zakat payment is to assure the accomplishment of socio-economic objectivity and fairness. A Quran verse explained (2:215] "They ask you about giving: say, "The charity you give shall go to the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor and the traveling alien." Any good you do, God is fully aware thereof." Zakat is by far the most appropriate way that Muslims has taught itself to deal with issues like poverty in Islamic communities through the distribution from one earnings to significant beneficiaries. Malaysia has been doing well to gather up and allocate the zakat whenever it establishes a regional organization to handle the zakat.
