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.
