Allah (SWT) says in the Quran-e-Majid that one who gives "Zakat"
and remembers Him will get salvation. Here, Zakat means "Fitra"
and remembrance of God means the recitation of the following
Takbir on the night and morning of Eid al-Fitr.
"Allaaho Akbar, Allaaho Akbar, Laa ilaaha illallaah wallaaho
Akbar, Allaaho Akbar, Wa lillaahil hamd. Alhamdulillah alaa
maa hadaanaa walahu Shukr alaa maa aulana."
The meaning of the above is: "Allah is Great, Allah is Great there is
no one worthy of prayer but Allah, and Allah is Great; Allah is Great,
all praise be to Allah, it is He Who guides."
Zakat al-Fitr is a small amount that Muslims are obliged to pay as
charity at the end of Ramadan. Zakat al-Fitr is often referred to
as Sadaqah al-Fitr (voluntary charity). The word Fitr means the
same as Iftaar, breaking a fast and it comes from the same root word
as Futoor which means breakfast. Thus, Islamically, Zakat al-Fitr is the
name given to charity which is distributed at the end of the fast of
Ramadan.
