The Importance of Khums
Islam presents humanity with a complete package. It deals with our relationship with other creations of God, as well as our own relationship with God. The financial responsibilities touches both. From one perspective, it is a form of worship and a means to get closer to God. From another, it is an act of sharing the wealth that God has given us for causes permitted by the Sharia.
One of the major financial obligations, as commanded by the Qur’ān and explained by the Ahl al-Bayt [a], is khums – the one-fifth levy. It is different to zakāt al-māl, as the latter pertains only to particular forms of wealth above certain thresholds.
