where emerges the notion of Zakat that plays an imminent role
in decentralizing wealth as well as in resolving socioeconomic
issues, such as poverty and economic inequalities among people.
This statement will be confirmed throughout this paper and will
be illustrated by the fact that Zakat have had a significant impact
on balancing the economic wealth within society during the pre-
