Abstract: Background: Zakah, as a vital pillar of the Islamic economic system, holds great significance in Islamic principles. This research serves as an extension of a prior survey, delving into the awareness and understanding of Zakah in Pakistan’s urban areas through a cross-sectional study. Objective: This study aims to scrutinize the status of Zakah recipients in society and assess the aftermath of their Zakah payments, seeking to comprehend the overall impact on their lives. Methodology: A sample of 125 male respondents was selected from four provinces of Pakistan, encompassing diverse backgrounds such as religious scholars, Muftis, students of Islamic education, individuals with formal education, and uneducated individuals. The respondents, aged between 20 and 60, were categorized into three age groups for statistical analysis, and Data Tab along with Graph Prism edition 9.5.1. were employed for result interpretation. Results: The research findings suggest that Zakah payees express high levels of satisfaction with their lives, despite facing challenges associated with the economic and political instability prevailing in the country. Conclusion: The analysis reveals a consistent level of satisfaction among Zakah payees, transcending demographic variables like location, education, and age group, with a remarkable 100% satisfaction rate in each category. This underscores the positive impact of Zakah payments on the overall well-being of recipients in Pakistan.
