ZAKAT is a tax that is owing to the needy and which is paid by devout Muslim to pay close attention to the tenets of the religion. Last week Friday, a Muslim cleric told followers that hurricane-ravaged Haiti, is their neighbour, and their Zakat (tax) is due to the people of that Caribbean nation. Mushtaq Sulaimani bemoaned the fact that not much was given to the people of Haiti whose suffering, after a devastating Hurricane, is on a scale not many Trinis know about.
