8 Basic Errors Muslims make when Paying Zakat Al-Fitr

I feel compelled to put this together because I’ve seen
the following errors being committed even since I was a
young boy. In sha Allah, you can help me spread the word by
sharing this article with your community, friends and
family.

What is Zakat ul-Fitr? Think “Iftar”, Zakat Ul-Fitr is
the charity that we pay at the end of Ramadan. Here is the
foundational hadith that establishes the obligation of
Zakat ul-Fitr:

Ibn `Umar reported that the Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa
sallam), made Zakat al-Fitr compulsory on every slave,
freeman, male, female, young and old among the Muslims; one
Saa` (a measurement: four double handfuls) of dried dates or
one Saa` of barely.
[Sahih Bukhari - Arabic/English, vol. 2, p. 339, no. 579]

From The Quran -

“O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed upon those before you in order that you may attain taqwaa [in general, it means 'God consciousness,' 'God awareness,' 'fear of God,' and so on].” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183)

Surah al-Baqarah

last week we listened to the lectures about the preparations we should do for ramadan,

now it’s the time to give you some Tools.

The First one is Heart Wheel Journal , made by Muhammad Alshareef. this is a great journal for planing your ramadan, and even any other month. (pdf file, 2.16 mb)

Second is this great “Ramdan Time Table Plan” , that gives you the option to plan a calender of your own for ramadan. (excel file, download it , fil it up and print)

And Third is this Ramadan Cheklist.

Inshallah we will all make good plans for ramadan and we will finish it with great reward and improvment- Amin.

UPDATE: in this lecture muhammad alshareef explains how to use the ‘heart wheel journal’

Ramadan Kareem

Asalamu ‘alikum dear brothers and sisters,

Ramadan- the month of fasting, the month of praying and making dua, the month of quran and zikir. the month of love between the muslim and his lord, between the muslim and his family and all other muslims in the community. may allah reward us a great reward in this blessed month and inshallah we will gain a great taqwa and iman through it, amin.
