ISLAM PRESCRIBES ZAKAT
2

• Islam prescribes a system of Zakat (obligatory
  annual charity). Islamic law prescribes that
  every person who has a saving that exceeds the
  nisab level i.e. more than 85 grams of gold,
  should give 2.5 of that saving every lunar year
  in charity. If every rich person in the world
  gave Zakat sincerely, poverty will be eradicated
  from this world. Not a single human being would
  die of hunger.
