Hardship,
bitterness and difficulties was still felt by some society
today and should not be looked trivial by Muslim community
now. Nevertheless they felt the feelings of hardship
but they can bring one thousand awareness to the rich group
to slow down making only treasures and properties. The
grief and misery that they have gone through should be made
as a guide to pursuit life's luxuries.
Each people who live on this Allah
earth is unequal in its style and attitude. It is not certain what
one's desired can be achieved . Forgetfulness, negligent and not serious
had punished this people to lead a more difficult life. Actually
all Muslims people must work together to survive on this world.Like the
proverbs .Many ands make light work.
Ulterior meaning behind giving
away of zakat had created awareness if we look deeply with
a sincere heart. With this we help to lessen the burden of the deserved
ones. Pauper group and beggars will have more guarantee and should not
be neglected offhand. (Asnaf) are people who deserved to receive
zakat and the poor usually ask from the
administrator not personally from the rich to preserve their honour
and dignity. It was also driven by the feelings of shyness
to scrounge and to keep their feeling and heart from those
hurting words.
Apart from that, the public
lack of knowledge of the distribution of zakat
had resulted in misunderstanding on the information
and this caused many rich people to give zakat
only to the poor , while other deserving people
had being forgotten.Actually zakat was not only for
the poor and pauper and also for those who fights for religion but also
for others related like those converted to Islam ,those who was so indebted
and for education purposes.
The prosperity from the
sky and land and justice of the ruler had cause
the rich people difficulty to seek and find poor people
to be given zakat during Khalifah Umar Abdul Aziz's time. During
this period, Muslims constantly became the best people, honourable
and are respected by opponent and friends. Furthermore luxurious
lives, had make Muslims forgotten from setting up religion's
requirement. With high knowledge at its peak had
brought Muslims to waste their times in unimportant questions
which ended with arguments amongst each other and eventually destroy
the splendour era of Uthmaniah's state government.
