What is the zakat of health?

Good health is a blessing, and true gratitude for it lies in worship. Use your strength in the pursuit of Allah’s pleasure, for the zakat of good health is striving in His obedience.

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

«زكاةُ الصِّحَّةِ، السَّعيُ في طاعَةِ اللَّهِ.»

"The zakat of health is exerting oneself in Allah's obedience."

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.
