Sadaqa is one of the important Quranic term, having economic background. Traditionally it is considered as a form of donation which any Musslim can give in any quantity and at any time. Quran has also used two different terms i.e. Sadaqa and al-saddaqa unfortunately no distinction is made between these two terms and assume that both are same. It is wrong because Quran has used the term al-sadaqa for those donations which Muslims give to an Islamic state and the state is bound to spend these donations on that particular heads which are mentioned in the chapter 9 verse 60, In this sense al-sadaqas are not personal donations but the subject of an Islamic state who collects these amounts and spent as per directions of Quran.
