Why is your zakat (religious tax) different from the shar-i zakat (religious tax according to shariat)? Why is it not distributed among the poor and needy directly?

Prayers
Women Leading the Prayers
Islam is the right path. It has been ordained to lead towards God. When, as according to this example, ture religion is likened to a path, then it also has stations which are called shariat, tariqat(Sufic paht), Haqiqat (truth) and Marifat (gnosis or the recognition of God). Just as Sufism is a clear proof of development within Islam from on station to the next, so are the manners and rites of the Jamaat khana a living example of following and spiritually advancing along the same straight path of Islam, and progressing to a higher station.
