Punishments of Not Giving Zakat

Dear Islamic brothers in this piece of writing we will learn answers to these questions:

What is the significance of Zakat?

When did Zakat become Fard?

What is the Definition of Zakat?

What is the ruling on denying Zakat to be a Fard act?

What amount of Zakat will be given?

On whom is Zakat Fard?

What are the punishments of not giving Zakat?

Dear brothers! Zakat is the basic pillar of Islam and became Fard in 2 Hijri before the Siyam. 1/40^th part of the zakat nisab (i.e. 2.5%) will have to be given as Zakat. It is proven from the Holy Quran that Zakat is Fard; one who denies it is a Kafir. The Beloved Rasoolصَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ has stated, ‘The foundation of Islam is on five acts: To testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ and Muhammad صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ is His Rasool; to offer Salah; to pay Zakat; to perform Hajj; and to observe Sawm of Ramadan.’

(Bukhari/Kitab ul Iman)

The significance of Zakat can be observed by the fact that: Salah and Zakat have been mentioned together in the Holy Quran 32 times.

(Radd ul Mukhtar/Kitabuzakat)

Besides this, the fortunate Zakat-giving a person receives great blessings and benefits of this world and the Hereafter.

Zakat is Fard

It is proven from the Holy Quran and Sunnah that Zakat is Fard. Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ has stated in the Holy Quran:

وَ اَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ

Translation from Kanz-ul-Imaan: And establish (obligatory) prayer, and give Zakat.

(Part 1, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 43)

Maulana Sayyid Muhammad Na’eemuddin Muradabadi رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ (who passed away in 1367 Hijri) has stated: This Ayah says about Salah and Zakat donation being Fard.

When the Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ sent Sayyiduna Mu’aaz رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ towards Yemen, he صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ said: Tell them that Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ has made Zakat Fard in their wealth; it should be taken from the wealthy people and given to the Fuqara [poor people.

(Tirmizi/Kitabuzakat)

Definition of Zakat

That wealth specified by Shari’ah is termed as Zakat from which a person discontinues his benefit in every manner and then for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ, it is given into the possession of such Muslim Faqeer [Shari’ah-declared poor person], who is neither Hashmi himself nor is he a slave freed by any Hashmi.

(Durr e Mukhtar/Kitabuzakat)

(Bahar e Shariat)

Punishments of not giving Zakat

Not giving Zakat is a cause of the destruction of wealth as the Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ has said: The wealth that has got destroyed in the land and sea, it has got destroyed because of not giving Zakat.

(Majma-ul-Zwaed/KitabulZakat)

At another place, he صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ has said: Wealth of Zakat will destroy the [wealth] in which it will be present.

(Shob-ul-Iman)

Explaining the abovementioned Hadith, Mufti Muhammad Amjad Ali A’zami رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ has stated, ‘Some great Ulama have stated the following meaning of this Hadith: If Zakat becomes Wajib on a person but he does not pay it and keeps it included in his wealth, this Haraam will destroy that Halal. Imam Ahmad رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ has stated the following meaning: If a wealthy person takes Wealth of Zakat, this Wealth of Zakat will destroy his wealth as Zakat is for the Fuqara [poor people]. Both meanings are correct.’

(Bahar-e-Shariat)

The nation which does not give Zakat can suffer from troubles collectively. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ has said: The nation which will not give Zakat, Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّwill make it suffer from drought.

(Al Moj-ul-Osat)

At another place, he صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ has said: When the people abandon paying Zakat, Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ stops the rain. If quadrupeds were not present on the Earth, even a single drop of water would not fall from the sky.

(Ibn-e-Majah)

The person who does not give Zakat has been cursed, as Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ood رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ has narrated: Rasoolullah صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ has cursed the one who does not give Zakat.

Masjid: A Blessed House

Wherever you go around the world, you find a masjid there. What is the reason behind it? If you search for Masjid images the images of the masjids from the different parts of the world will appear on your screen. The reason behind this fact is this that Muslims love Masjids. It is one of the best norms of Muslims that wherever they start living, they search for ‘Masjid near me’ and if they do not find any masjid, they build a masjid. In the sublime kalam of Allah Almighty, Masjids are given great status and in many traditions of the beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم, the importance of masjids is also mentioned.

In Quran Alkareem Allah Almighty says:

اِنَّمَا یَعۡمُرُ مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰہِ مَنۡ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰہِ وَ الۡیَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ وَ اَقَامَ الصَّلٰوۃَ  وَ اٰتَی الزَّکٰوۃَ وَ لَمۡ یَخۡشَ اِلَّا اللّٰہَ فَعَسٰۤی اُولٰٓئِکَ اَنۡ یَّکُوۡنُوۡا مِنَ الۡمُہۡتَدِیۡنَ

Only those maintain and frequent the Masaajid (Mosques) of Allah, who believe in Allah and the Last Day and keep Salah established and pay Zakat and fear none except Allah, so it is near that, they will be amongst the people of guidance.   

              (Translation of Quran Kanzuleman, surah Tobah, Ayah 18)

Here, in this blessed Ayat Allah Almighty praises those who maintain the masjids and there are different ways to maintain the masjid like building the beautiful masjid minar, covering the expenses of its lighting and carpets, etc. To gain these blessings Muslims always try to associate themselves with Masjid and try to maintain it and give donations to cover their expenses. This love and attachment of Muslims with Masjid is the main reason for Masjids being built around the world.

There is a very touching a story about a respected lady; she used to clean  Masjid ul Nabvi in the blessed apparent life of the beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم  Respected Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم showed great favour upon her on knowing this. 

Let us read this story:

“There was a lady in the blessed city Madinah Munawara. She used to clean the blessed Masjid of the beloved Rasool. One night, she passed away and the respected companions, after offering her janazh prayer, laid to rest here in the grave. Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم asked about her. The companions told him about her demise. He  صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم said “قال أفلا كنتم اذنتمون؟ دلوني علي قبرها فأت علي قبرها فصل عليها” why did you not inform me? Tell me her grave! He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم came to her grave and read salat of janazah on her grave.” (Bukhari, Hadees no, 458)

If we study the blessed sayings of the beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم we come to know that our beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم  has emphasized the importance of the Masjids. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم taught his ummah to clean masjid and respect it. Let us read a few blessed ahadees regarding the prize of building a Masjid Mihrab. صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم

“It is narrated by  Jabir bin Abdullah  رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهَُ that The beloved Rasool of Allah said: whoever build a Masjid for the sake of Allah, like a sparrow’s nest or even smaller, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise”                                                                                                 

(Sunan Ibn e Majah, Hadees no, 738)

“It has been narrated that: The beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم said: Whoever builds a Masjid for the sake of Allah, be it small or large, Allah Almighty will build a house for him in Paradise”(Jame Tirmizi, Hadees no,391)

 After reading these blessed ahadees we understand the dignity and honor of the Masjids. We should try to be frequent to masjids and always keep Namaz Time in our mind to read namaz with Jamat. May Allah Almighty enable us visiting the masjids with respect. Ameen
