What is the zakat of prosperity?

The true value of prosperity lies not merely in material wealth, but also in kindness, compassion, and social responsibility. An enduring ethical teaching reminds us that caring for neighbors and maintaining strong family ties are among the most meaningful ways to give back to society and share the blessings of abundance.

Hawzah News Agency - The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali, peace and blessings of God be upon him, says:

«زكاةُ اليَسارِ، بِرُّ الجِيرانِ وصِلَةُ الأرحامِ.»

"The zakat of prosperity is goodness to one's neighbors and maintaining relations with one's kin."

Ghurar al-Hikam, v. 1, p. 390

Note: Zakāt is a financial obligation in Islam based on which Muslims have to pay a certain amount of nine items to be spent for the poor and for other social purposes.
