And know that God imposed zakat on the wealth, meaning he deducted it from it, and said to the owner of the wealth: This amount of money that you determined by the obligation is not yours, but rather you are responsible for it. Zakat is not owned by the owner of the wealth. Then God Almighty placed our souls in the position of wealth among us in ruling, so He placed zakat in it. He also placed it in wealth. Just as He commanded us to pay zakat on wealth, He said to us regarding souls. He who purifies them has succeeded, just as he has succeeded who has purified his wealth. He also attached it to wealth in buying and selling. He said, “Indeed, God bought from the believers their souls and their wealth, so He made buying and selling among souls and wealth. In this verse, He also made zakat a matter of jurisprudence.” Concerning money and souls, the zakat on money is known, as we will mention it in detail in this section, God willing.
