3: Giving
      Zakat

Every thing belongs to God so any wealth we have is held by us in trust.
A Muslim tries to give one fortieth  of his or her wealth to the poor and needy.
The Prophet Muhammad was asked "What if a person has nothing and cannot work?"
The Prophet said "He should help the poor and needy. If he cannot even do that, he should encourage others to do good."

How  much of your money would you need to give?
Maybe it would be better for you to offer to help others: what could you do?
