5. A way to bring justice to society, Justice is the essence of Islam Spending in the way of Allah “fee sabeel Allah”  2 forms of charity in Islam : 1) Zakat, obligatory, one of the pillar of Islam = purify one’s wealth On every Muslim who is sahib-e-nisab: annual contribution of 2.5% of one’s wealth Take from those who have wealth and give it away to those who do not Rotation of wealth to balance social inequalitiy 2) Sadaqah (Vonluntary): any good deed done to please Allah swt I) Definition

6. II) Conditions 1) Niyah (intention): should be only for to please Allah Swt and hope to get reward in the Hereafter In sha Allah 2) We must spend only clean, pureandHallal (legitimate source) BECAUSE ALLAH ALMIGHTY ACCEPTS NOTHING EXCEPT WHAT IS CLEAN, PURE AND HALLAL.

Every good deed is Sadaqah….

8.
