[2:274]  Those who give to charity night and day, secretly and publicly, receive their recompense from their Lord; they will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

The Effects of Zakat

The payment of Zakat formulates healthy impact on the giver, recipients, and the society at large. It purifies the assets of the giver, restrains his lust for material goods and creates in him the virtue of sharing his wealth with others; it uplifts him from a life of material pursuits to a life endowed with moral purpose.
