08Eighth: idea five — the first cure: alms (zakāt) and the poor man's right

  • Islam treated the ancient disease with something that, if the reformers took hold of it, would have spared them the evils of wars and the errors of doctrines that pulled down the building of society.
  • Mediation between the rich and the poor: it means recognising the right of ownership and freedom of disposal — the owner is not pushed away from what he owns, nor is a free person fought over his will.
  • A known right was made for the poor in the wealth of the rich, and the rich man's religion is not complete until he pays it.
  • That right is the third of the five pillars of Islam — so it is neither a branch, nor a supererogatory act, nor a leftover.
