What is Iftar and Zakat?

I keep getting ads on Facebook that say I should give my Iftar and Zakat. I think it is like tithing but I already made my tithe to The Red Cross the other day.

Zakat isn’t the same as a general charity donation like giving to the Red Cross. It’s a specific religious obligation in Islam with its own rules about who should give and who should receive.
