pay the Zakah
-
1 I pay the Zakah to purify myself from the filth of sins.
Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) :
{ And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance. And establish prayer and give zakāh and obey Allāh and His Messenger. Allāh intends only to remove from you the impurity [of sin], O people of the [Prophet's] household, and to purify you with [extensive] purification. }
Quran ( 33 : 33 )

3 I pay the Zakah to attain the honor of being an ally to the believers and I hope to be an ally of Allah.
