Correct Answer:
C. Two kinds of tax in Islam
The question asks to identify Usher and Zakat. The correct answer is Two kinds of tax in Islam. These terms refer to specific forms of obligatory financial contributions within Islamic economic jurisprudence, designed for wealth redistribution and social welfare.
- Zakat is an annual obligatory charity or religious tax paid by Muslims who meet a certain threshold of wealth (nisab) to specific categories of beneficiaries, such as the poor and needy. It is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
- Usher (or Ushr) is an agricultural tax levied on the produce of land, typically 10% for naturally irrigated land and 5% for artificially irrigated land. Both are fundamental components of the Islamic economic system.
- Options like 'Two prominent warriors' or 'Two months of Islamic calendar' are incorrect as they bear no relation to the established meanings of Usher and Zakat.
