The aspect of distribution of wealth must be important in Quran since on the very first page of the main text, chapter two verse three (2-3) there is a condition laid out for momin- Believers to follow, given asينفِقون-- “and (the believers) spend out of what We have provided for them”. This is also reaffirmed in verse 4-39 as a requirement. The word yunfiqoon and its derivatives appear in the book over seventy times, give or take one or two. Salaat and Zakat are the two faces of the one coin in the Book, yet in 2-3 Zakaat is replaced with Nafq as a basis of the principle of distribution of wealth. Otherwise the combination of Salaat and Zakat remains, without mentioning the quantum figure for the later. -- Rashid Samnakay, NewAgeIslam.com
