The Possible Impact of the Islamic Zakat on Worldwide Poverty

Authors: Muhammed Omar Badr

Regarding an article of the World Bank from 2020 [1], 2017 9.2 percent of the world population was living with less than 1.90$ per day. 24.1 percent lived on less than 3.20$ per day. Islam is the Religion with the second biggest community in the world. In Islam, Muslims are committed to pay about 2.70 percent of their property to poor people per Islamic year (the Islamic year has 354 to 355 days). The focus and the question which this article treats, is whether Zakat is able to defeat worldwide poverty and if it is the solution for the most urgent problem of our time.
