Zakat and Sadaqah
Zakat and Sadaqah are fundamental principles of Islamic giving, embodying the spirit of charity and compassion. Zakat, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is an obligatory form of charity given by eligible Muslims to support those in need, including the poor, needy, and disadvantaged. It serves as a means of purifying wealth and fulfilling a religious duty to help alleviate poverty and suffering within the community.
Sadaqah, on the other hand, refers to voluntary acts of charity and generosity that are not obligatory but highly encouraged in Islam. It encompasses a wide range of charitable acts, from monetary donations to acts of kindness and service, with the intention of seeking the pleasure of Allah and assisting those in need.
At Sheffield Grand Mosque, we uphold the values of Zakat and Sadaqah by facilitating opportunities for our community to give back and support those less fortunate. Your contributions in the form of Zakat and Sadaqah enable us to provide vital assistance to individuals and families facing hardship, both locally and globally. Together, let us fulfill our religious obligations and make a positive impact on the lives of others through the power of charitable giving.
