Explain why Zakat is important in Islam. [8]

Zakat (Obligatory charity) is an important pillar of Islam. It is also written in the Quran that performing Zakat purifies your own wealth.

[Quran 7:156] My mercy encompasses all things, but I will specify it for the righteous who give Zakat.

All Muslims are obliged to pay a portion of their wealth to help those in need.
