Chapter One
Zakat "Alms giving": The third of high schools of seeing by God's light.
Having talked about the witnessing that there is no God but Al'lah and that Mohammad is Al'lah's messenger, the communication with God, and having known some meanings included behind them, we turn to talk about Az-Zakat "Alms giving" which is mentioned in the noble saying: "Islam is based on five pillars…" when the prophet (cpth) “communication with Al'lah and peace are through him” says: "…paying the alms" we say: the word 'alms giving in Arabic means 'purification' which indicates perfection. When it is said 'the food became pure', that is, it became wholesome, delicious, and free from any defect or flaw. By almsgiving, man becomes healthful both in spirit and body, the life becomes pleasant, and the whole society will be delighted and reach the perfection it aims at.
It elevates and becomes free from any kind of poverty, lack, mean qualities (such as spite, hatred…) and far from suffering and pains. Thus people will enjoy living under the shade of love cooperation and success.
This noble saying reveals that alms giving is one of the pillars of the sublime structure of Islam which without it all falls down. The noble companions fought the apostates who abstained from paying the alms.
Any verse mentioned in the Holy Qur’an which is related to performing the communication with God is associated with a verse related to almsgiving. This indicates that performing the communication with God, which aims to make the spirit get a link with its provider, must be accompanied by giving alms.
Purification can be acquired through sacrificing money for the sake of God so as to draw nearer to Him. In fact, the money is an expression of yearning, and through sacrificing it the alms payer will have dispensed with the vanities of this world seeking to win the life in the other abode, to enjoy God's satisfaction and to approach Him more and more.
The spirit follows its deed, and our master Jesus (pth) “peace are through him” said: "your heart is where you put your treasure, so put your treasure in the heaven"
God's satisfaction cannot be got except by being charitable to His creatures. He, the Almighty, is in no need to us nor to our money but He asks us only the cordiality in relationships. So, when we pay the alms for His sake, our spirit will be confident of their charity so they will enter the presence of their Provider. As a result of this entering which is based on their deed they become pure. That is because when the spirit enters God's presence having a confidence of its charity, the Godly light will flow to the places of the vile yearnings in it and purify it from the germ which deprives it from sleep and lessens its rank at God and at people. Thus the spirit becomes free from its bad defects and dirt and regains its purification by virtue of the light of its provider and the Godly perfect qualities. Only then man will be really man, that is "humanist", with a heart filled with Godly mercy, sympathy upon all creatures and love to be charitable to everybody within wisdom.
When the spirit attains a link with its provider, it will not care for any blame as long as it acts within right as well as it will be surrounded with a sash of virtue, compassion, bravery, generosity and all other sublime qualities. It will get profit by the valuable chance of its lifetime and become worthy to take care of its brothers in humanity, and there God will lift its rank in this life so as to use it as an amount for drawing nearer to him, then in the other abode, it will be one of the closest winners due to what it has rendered.
Now: let's suppose that there is a person who put aside his rain-coat in a cupboard without noticing that there is 100 USD in one of its pockets. So, when he needed to wear it after one full year, one of his family found that 100 USD which he had forgotten and is in no need of at present time. I wonder, will it be difficult for him to give only 2.5 USD to the member of his family who found it? Will that overload him when he does not expect that he may find it? Of course if the full 100 USD was not found, he would not care about it. So when he gives this insignificant sum of money it will be as if he has won 97.5 USD as a present from the heaven.
So is the proportion of alms giving as the Compassioner assessed in His Noble book which is far above falsehood.
