In other words, it is a doctrine that calls for social and religious reforms in given Islamic society or community, 2.) the treatment of the categories of the beneficiaries of Al Zakat and 3.) the classes of Al-Zakat.
The focus of this thesis then turns to a comparative analysis of the Zakat system in Saudi Arabia, which depends on historical method in assessing the Zakat, and the Zakat system in Quran, which depends on current value methods in assessing the Zakat.
