About Inheritance in Islam and the Quran:

Distribution of inheritance (Meeras / Wirasat) carries a special place in Islam and is a very important component of the Muslim faith and is considered as an integral part of the Sharia Law. Among the relatives in Islam, there is a legal share as per Quran for each descendant in monetary value/property the deceased has left. Quran has mentioned different shares over the matters of Islamic inheritance.

About Zakat in Islam and the Quran:

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and is mandatory & obligatory for every Muslim who possesses the required nisab. While the nisab is defined as wealth equaling 87.48 grams (7.5 tolas) of Gold or 612.36 (52.5 tolas) Silver.

Zakat holds profound significance for Muslims worldwide. Derived from the Arabic root meaning "to purify," Zakat represents a form of almsgiving, mandatory for eligible Muslims to fulfill. It serves as a means of wealth redistribution and social welfare, emphasizing compassion and solidarity within the community. Calculated as a percentage of one's surplus wealth, Zakat encompasses various assets, including money, livestock, agricultural produce, and business profits. Beyond its religious obligations, Zakat fosters economic equity and alleviates poverty by supporting the less fortunate. Its principles of social justice and empathy resonate beyond religious boundaries, making it a cornerstone of humanitarian efforts globally.
