Zakat-ul-Fitr
Taken From the Book Minhaj al-Muslim Vol.2: From the wisdom of Zakat-ul-Fitr is that it purifies the fasting
soul from the effects of useless, non-beneficial speech (or acts) and obscene speech (or behavior). Likewise, it keeps the poor and needy people from having to beg on the day of Eid.
Commentary on the Verse of Light
Ubayy ibn Ka`b said, 'the similitude of His light [takes place in] the Muslim's heart.' [Ibn Kathir, 3:464] This light, which He has placed in the heart, comes from gnosis, love, faith and the remembrance of God. It is the light that He has sent down to His servants, by which He gives them life, and by which they walk among people. Its origin is in their hearts, but then He strengthens and increases it until it appears upon their faces, limbs, bodies, even their clothes and dwellings.
