I give sadaqa that should be enough Do I really have to account for as a cat, that's actually a major transgression, and not paying zecca in the amounts that is required in the ways that is required and to the people it's required to is a transgression spiritually and economically, and it will erode the blessing of the fortune that you have been given by Allah subhanho to add up

00:00:37 --> 00:01:24

the difference between sada and Zika is clear. Southern is something that you can give as much or as little to whomever whenever, at whatever time for whatever reason that you choose or not to give anything at all. Zika is something that is to be given at a specific time, in a specific amount to specific individuals or categories of people in the way that has been ordained and described in the Quran and the tradition of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now, I don't mean to say to you should stop giving sulfur and gives the car but you should give the car before you give sub haha. And Zakah is something that is an obligation that is always tied to the obligation of the whole. And

00:01:24 --> 00:02:13

it's one of those verses where whenever you hear what I'll clean will slowly establish your prayers regularly. You almost know the exact same statement coming after what act zeca and give of your sadaqa and charity. Now the word so the heart in the Quran has a dual use meaning zeca as obligated by Allah, not just general charity that is given what are two zecca purify your wealth that can come from the word zeca, which means to increase through purification. So when you remove things that shouldn't be there, it makes something grow. It's like you're weeding your garden of fortune and prosperity. When you take the weeds out. Your fortune grows and the masses and it becomes Yabu it

00:02:13 --> 00:03:00

becomes blessed and increased in its blessing. zeca is something that is a forgotten obligation to many Muslims who are asked in order to pay it and even you as a young person. If you have been given a certain amount of savings that is under your control and direction. a certain amount of Zakat should be paid from it. If you are an obligated age of praying to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, make sure that no year goes by where you do not sit and think about what you owe to the poor from the blessing and wealth that you have been given by Allah subhanho wa Taala. I would ask you to consult a local Eman in sha Allah to help you understand the amounts that are due. But generally speaking,

00:03:00 --> 00:03:45

if you have over about $4,000 worth of estate or property or gold, it's reached $4,000 and you've kept it for over a year. You need to pay 2.5% of that amount in zeca to one of the categories of people that is itemized and that can be fulfilled through a trusted registered government approved agency that is qualified to take your sucker insha Allah May Allah subhanho wa Taala remove the transgression of overlooking the needs of the poor and fulfilling our obligation of Zika to heal the world and feed the hungry and give shelter to the weak and needy and cure the sick Aloma me
