Zakat (English spelling)

Japanese: ザカート（英語表記）zakāt
Zakat (English spelling)
A poor tax established by Islamic law. It was levied on Muslims who owned grain, fruit, camels, livestock, sheep, gold, silver, or goods, and the tax rate was 2.5 to 10 percent of their profits. In Muhammad's time, it vaguely meant charity or alms, but after his death it was legalized as a tax and became the main source of revenue for the Islamic state.
