There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land. http://www.gotquestions.org/tithing-christian.html Islam has therefore made charity, that is, zakat, obligatory and binding upon all those who embrace the faith. http://www.alrisala.org/Articles/mailing_list/charity.html Tax is a sum of money demanded by a government for its support or for specific facilities or services, levied upon incomes, property, sales, etc. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tax |

It is largely the same for Islam... you will find no bare minimium amount listed in the Qur'an
