“Indeed whosoever purifies himself shall achieve success, and remembers (glorifies) the name of his Lord and prays” Quran 87:14-15

Zakat-UL-FITR is part of the fast of Ramadan and is characterized by the following elements:

* It consists of approximately 5.5 pounds of rice, wheat, dates, or similar food items.
* It is not recommended to give the Zakat ul-Fitr in the form of money, clothes, or any other non-food items. However, the Hanafi School of Thought  allowes to give the Zakat ul-Fitr in monetary form (if one wishes to do so.)
* It must be given on the day of Eid, which is known as Eid ul-Fitr and signifies the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan. It can also be paid one or two days before Eid ul-Fitr.
* It cannot be given after the Eid prayer, unless one has a valid reason for such a delay.
* It should be given on behalf of every Muslim, whether male or female, adult or minor.

14. Giving charity and spending in the way of Allah: Allah (SWT) says in the Quran, “Those who spend their wealth by night and day, privately and publicity, verily their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve” (Al-Baqara 274). And Allah also says, “And spend of that which We have provided you before death comes to one of you and he says, ‘My Lord if only You would reprieve me for a little while, then I would give alms and be among the righteous.’ But Allah reprieves no soul when its term comes, and Allah is aware of what you do” (Al-Munafiqoon).

4- Enjoining good and eradicating evil: Allah revealed in the Quran, {Those of the children of Israel who went astray were cursed by the tongue of David, and of Jesus, son of Mary. That was because they rebelled and used to transgress. They restrained not one another from the wickedness they did. Verily, evil was that they used to do} (Al-Maida:78)

This is one of the obligatory duties that many people fail to perform today. Due to this reason, sins are being committed openly and without shame and no one is saying anything about them. The prophet peace be upon him said, “If the people see an evil deed and they do not change it, then Allah may inflict them all with a punishment”.

Allah says in the Quran: “And the believers, men and women, are protecting friends of one another, they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong .. “

2. Reciting the Quran and pondering over it’s meanings: The Prophet peace be upon him said, “Whoever recites one word from the Book of Allah will be rewarded for a good deed and ten more like it; and I don’t say that Alif Lam Mim is a word but Alif is a word and Lam is a word and Mim is a word” (Alif Lam Mim is 3 Arabic Characters.)
