In Islam, if we are financially able, we are required to pay Zakat (2.5% of our income) which goes to the charity for the poor.Offtopic: Are you guys required by Islam to pay tithe or a certain portion of your income to the mosque? Does everybody commonly do it?
Non-Muslim Male adults (excluding monks or the poor) are required to pay Jizya, which goes to the state and the construction & maintenance of new temples and churches (for non-Muslims). This also guarantees that non-Muslims will not face conscription, it was also common for Christian tribes to offer military support rather than pay Jizya.
