Zakat, being a pillar of Islam, is the annual right of the poor on every sane and mature Muslim male and female enjoying a considerable level of economic prosperity.

Historically, Zakat system, where administered sincerely and justly, eliminated poverty and privation in the society, to the extent that the rich had a hard time finding a poor person on streets to give charity to.

Today, American Muslims have a moral obligation to play a defining role in eradicating poverty at home and around the globe.

Let us launch our personal struggle against homelessness, unemployment, insurance and rent hikes, famine, food wastage, global water politics, wars, and any thing that further contributes to human deprivation.
