Practical exercise
Calculate your zakat and pick three institutions to give through
Zakat is the only tax in your life that is also worship. Most Pakistanis pay it carelessly: a Ramzan transfer to a vague mosque committee, no record, no follow up. Today you will calculate yours properly using the SBP nisab announced for the year, and you will pick three institutions whose audited annual reports you have actually read. By the end your zakat becomes a clean, defensible, joy giving practice.
Now try it

Stretch
Add a sadaqah jariyah line to your bucket page from lesson seven. Even 500 rupees a month, beyond zakat, given to a recurring cause like a school fund or a water well program. Sadaqah jariyah is not zakat; it is a separate, voluntary, ongoing charity whose reward continues after you die. Set it as a standing instruction.
