Most muslims dont know what quran says about Who deserve Zakah .. What are the different ways of paying Zakaat ? Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah Taubah verse 60: Zakat Collections are for the needy, and the indigent, and for those who are employed to collect them, and for those whose hearts are to be won over, and for the ransoming of slaves, and for helping the debtors, and the way of Allah, and for the hospitality of the way-farers. The above are the different ways of paying the zakaah or obligatory charity as commanded by Allah: The needy The indigent or poor The people who are employed to collect zakaah. (This command is for the government agencies who would collect zakah in an Islamic State that they could pay the salaries of the people who are employed to collect the zakah for the citizens of this state.) Those whose hearts are to be won over. (For daawah or propagation of Islam,revert muslims .. etc.) For the ransoming of slaves For helping the debtors For the hospitality of people who are traveling and are facing financial difficulty for some reason. And, the Way of Allah. (anything one spends to gain the pleasure of Allah will be considered in ‘The Way of Allah’) Thus zakah dues may be paid to any of the above criteria. The only place one cannot spend zakaah money is to support his own family and people under his/her responsibility and to build a mosque, which should be done with one’s own pure wealth.
