Zakah = to purify
All Muslims who are wealthy enough must perform this act of charity in
order for their wealth to be purified in the eyes of Allah.
Most Muslims believe that Allah blesses them with wealth and
therefore it is their duty to give some back to those most needy. This
helps to purify their money and prevents greed.

Muslims must act upon.
