Please explain some of the excellences of Zakaat                   proved by Quran-o-Hadees?                               

  

Answer:

 Quran-o-Hadees are replete with the excellences of "Zakaat" and charity.

A Quranic verse says: the like of those who spend their riches in the way of Allah is that of a grain which sprouts seven ears with each of them containing a hundred grains and Allah grants more to whom He pleases.

This Quranic verse clearly states that payment of Zakaat earns innumerable blessings and enhances wealth, property which stresses the fact that nonpayment of Zakaat brings about ruination. That's why a Hadees says: make your wealth, property a strong fortress by paying

Zakaat therefrom. Crops are usually overgrown with weeds which obstruct their healthy growth by consuming the fertility of the soil. A wise grower removes them but a fool will not under the fallacy that the removal of weeds will decrease the quantity of his crops. So is the case with the payment of Zakaat from wealth, property. The Holy Quran says: "And whatever you will spend (in His way), Allah will recompense you more and He is the Best Provider of subsistence".

A Hadees says:

“Allah Almighty accepts no charity but given from the honest earning although it be a date.”

  He accepts it with His Right Hand and it increases in His Hand just as any of you nurses a colt, until the charity becomes as big as a mountain. Another Hadees says:

“Whoever spends a pair of something (two things) in the way of Allaah, will be invited into Paradise from its all gates.”
