Zakat is the fourth pillar of Islam. According to this, as people who have money and / or other wealth achieved, pay 2.5 percent of the wealth out horrible. This 2.5 percent is the fraction of taxes or other charity. You can pay money to the local mosque or school, but it is not considered charity. Zakat is only for the horrible and the needy, paid by the property.
What is the reason to pay Zakat? In Islam there is the principle that society is responsible for the environment and its people, dishonest government. As a society, you have a collective responsibility to raise and take care of dire need.
If everybody would pay their dues of 2.5 percent there would be no need for any setup by government cultural benefits, community care will remove it.
