Zakat al fitr

Zakat al-Fitr

Zakat means purification physical, spiritual and of one's wealth. Therefore, Zakat is both external and internal purification as well as maintaining and economic balance between the fortunate and the less fortunate.
"Fitr" is derived from the same root as "Iftar' at the end of fast. Through fasting one purifies himself, physically by controlling his senses and basic instincts, and spiritually. But, just as the pangs of hunger and thirst create awareness of the plight of the less fortunate fellow human being, these feelings must be translated into action to alleviate their plight. Islam enjoins giving alms on that day on that every brethren in faith can rejoice and thus enhance the ideals of a just society that minds the plight of its less fortunate members.

In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Mr. António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations

Greetings and Regards

The media reported that a person in Sweden desecrated a copy of the Holy Quran and burned one of its pages with the aim of insulting Islam.

This kind of disgusting behavior has happened many times in recent years in different countries, but the remarkable thing is that this time it happened with the official permission of the Swedish police and under the pretext of freedom of speech.

If, of course, respect for freedom of speech does not justify in any way the licensing of such a shameful behavior, which is a clear attack on the sacredness of more than two billion Muslims in the world and leads to the creation of a favorable environment for the promotion of extremist thoughts and wrong actions.

While condemning this action, the Supreme Religious Authority urges the United Nations to take effective measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents and to force countries to review the laws that allow such actions to occur.

The Supreme Religious Authority also calls for establishing the values of peaceful coexistence between followers of different religions and intellectual approaches based on respect for rights and mutual respect among all.

A CODE OF PRACTICE FOR MUSLIMS IN THE WEST

A Muslim who is born and raised in a Muslim country where he consciously and subconsciously absorbs the laws, values and teachings of Islam, grows up into a young person who is aware of the customs of his religion, following its path and is led by its guidance. On the other hand, a Muslim who is born, and brought up in a non-Muslim country demonstrates the influence of that environment very clearly in his thoughts, ideas, behaviour, values, and etiquette unless his Lord helps him. This un-Islamic influence is seen more in the second generation of those who have migrated to non-Muslim countries.
