Zakah, the third pillar, provided a steady source of charity because it is required, though additional giving is voluntary. One way of giving is to donate the money from a business on a regular and permanent basis, for example, from the sale of fruit from an orchard each year. These goods and money may be put into a foundation, as a kind of contract with God, or a trust fund that would last as long as the source lasted. By comparison, today in the U.S. wealthy people and organizations of many faiths give money to charitable foundations for hospitals, education, the arts, and other purposes.

Zakat
Zakat is the compulsory giving of a set proportion of one's wealth to charity. It is regarded as a type of worship and of self-purification. Zakat is the third Pillar of Islam.
Zakat does not refer to charitable gifts given out of kindness or generosity, but to the systematic giving of 2.5% of one's wealth each year to benefit the poor.
The benefits of Zakat, apart from helping the poor, are as follows:
● Obeying God ● Helping a person acknowledge that everything comes from God on loan and that we do not really own anything ourselves ○ And since we cannot take anything with us when we die we need not cling to it ● Acknowledging that whether we are rich or poor is God's choice ○ So we should help those he has chosen to make poor ● Learning self-discipline ● Freeing oneself from the love of possessions and greed ● Freeing oneself from the love of money ● Freeing oneself from love of oneself ● Behaving honestly
The 2.5% rate only applies to cash, gold and silver, and commercial items. There are other rates for farm and mining produce, and for animals.
