There are many proximate reasons that can explain the level of poverty in many societies in the world. Income inequality is one but crucial among them. Distribution of wealth in an equitable manner can alleviate the poverty to a greater extent.

This research, therefore, is an attempt to examine the role of Zakat (and also other similar compulsory almsgiving) in alleviating inequality and poverty in developing countries with a particular reference to Bangladesh.
