who is wealthy must remember those who are poorer. Zakat determine fix portion
from a Moslem's property for the community prosperity in general and the poor
specifically.

that regulate it, this tax should be performed by the Muslim community on their own.
Beside this, all Moslems are encouraged to give to the poor voluntarily.

Giving money to poor fakir and conducting shalat usually mentioned together in AlQur'an, because both are visible manifestation/proof for someone Islamic faith

Zakat Verses

Surah 2:261 The parable of those who spend their substance in

the way of Allah is that of a grain of corn: it groweth seven ears,
and each ear Hath a hundred grains. Allah giveth manifold
increase to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all and He
knoweth all things.

Surah 2:271 - If ye disclose (acts of) charity, even so it is well,

but if ye conceal them, and make them reach those (really) in

need, that is best for you: It will remove from you some of your
(stains of) evil. And Allah is well acquainted with what ye do.

Surah 9:103 - Of their goods, take alms, that so thou

mightest purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf.
Verily thy prayers are a source of security for them: And
Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth.

Punishment for those who does not pay Zakat

According to Abu Hurairaih, Rasulullah SAW said,"Whoever granted by Allah wealth
yet does not give out the zakat, on the judgement day, he will be visited by a very
poisonous and scary bald male snake with 2 dots above its eyes, which wrap and
bite his neck and shouts, " I am your wealth, I am your wealth that you accumulated
in the past" (Hadith Bukhari)
In another Hadith, Rasulullah SAW said, "Owner of gold or silver who does not fulfil
his obligation, the gold and silver on the day of judgement will be made into ironing
tool, which is heated up by the fire of hell, and then rubbed to his rub, face and back
for 50 thousand years, until complete the calculation with other people, to see if he
will enter heaven or hell. And owner of cow or goat who does not fulfil his obligation,
then on judgement day, those animals will be trampling and barging on him, as soon
as one finish, another will come to do the same until finish the calculation with
others, to see if he enter heaven or hell." (HR Muslim)

revelation from Allah.
On the last day, the coming of crescent month, announce the end of
Ramadhan. On that night, blessing from Allah came down to the
Moslems, and in feeling joy of victory that they have achieved, they start
three days of celebration which is called Idul Fitri, Perayaan Buka Puasa.

obligation in form of food or money for the poor fakirs, so that they to can
share the joy of Idul Fitri.
