peace all,
What do you all make of the following verse
You should know that anything you gain, then one-fifth shall go to God and the messenger, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the poor, and the traveller. You will do this if you believe in God and in what We revealed to Our servant on the day of the Criterion, the day the two armies clashed. God is able to do all things.
Is this only applicable in the spoils of war?
I personally haven't studied if specific values are given for charity in The Reading, but this would seem to imply 20% for those who have faith/belief/trust.Any comments?

I think that all should be split in fifths one fifth for Allah and His resool, one for the nearest, one for the orphans, one for the disabled ones, and one for the homeless (not "travellers". For Allah and His resool is for spreading His message and messenger should take care of that.
