Dear Bella,
This year is my first year of paying zakat since I had started working full time. As I am the one who is giving financial help for my parents who are retired, I feel it is my duty as an unwed daughter to contribute for my family zakat. Now that I have paid my zakat, I feel as if a burden has lifted from my shoulder and feel blessed.
Hope I can continue paying zakat for my parents and make this as a ritual for life.
I know that my parents feel proud and overwhelmed that I am paying for them as they were shocked regarding my decision.
To mama and abah,
Thank you for bringing me up with love and care. I will never forget your dedication for bringing me up in your early and late forties. I feel that is it now my duty to look after you.
Love from your youngest daughter,
Faiza
