Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam, serving as a means to purify wealth and help those in need. While the intention (Niyyah) is the most critical part, it is recommended to ask Allah for its acceptance.
رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
Rabbana taqabbal minna innaka antas-sami'ul-'alim.
Our Lord, accept from us. Indeed, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
