Those Who Purify
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَٰعِلُونَ ٤
And who are payers of the poor-due.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Those who are active in giving zakah.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the first meaning is giving the zakah of their wealth; some also understood zakah as purification. “Doing zakah” may include purifying the self, the body and wealth.
Reflect
Purify something today, both of your wealth and of your self.
