This is the consideration of the one who sees zakat in it, and whoever sees that there is no zakat in it, meaning that God has no right to it, then considering the saying of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, then for your sakes, God has nothing of it, meaning that God has no right to it. And whoever sees that zakat is the right of the poor, sees in his consideration that Zakat on the locked fruit is the original, which is the work of this slave who is locked up by his master and will never be freed.

Then He made their deeds, which are in the position of fruit from trees, a share for God, which is sincerity in work, and it is from work.

God Almighty sows the love of guidance and success in the land of souls, so the land of souls emerges according to what was sown in it.
