A 5% promised in the way of Allah of our income

I am strong believer that, Human biggest responsibility is the take care of his fellows. As said by Great Iqbal.

Dard-e-Dill Kay Wastay Paida Kia Insaan Ko
Warna Itaat Kay Liye Khuch Kam Na Thay Karobian

I want to spread message to all my sisters and brothers to promise at least minimum 5% of our income to needy person every month. Whether we are student or we have medium or large salary scale or we are businessman.

I believe, Allah will increase our income, and Allah will please to us. And we can pay a very little right of our humanity.

What you think ?

Re: A 5% promised in the way of Allah of our income

First of all, I disagree with Iqbal.... the purpose of human beings on earth is to worship Allah.

Secondly, yes, our obligation to our fellow human beings is the most important after our obligations to Allah. Charity is one of the five pillars of our faith.

Hands that serve are more precious than lips that pray.

So why not 2.5% of your net worth like it is part of Shariah?

Is it net or gross??
