for bringing hearts together [for Islām]

Among the categories of people to be given from the Zakat is the one who seems willingly to convert to Islam, the one whose evil is feared, and the one who will be firm on the right path if he is given from the Zakat, or that the like of him will embrace Islam.

Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) :

{ Zakāh expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed for it1 and for bringing hearts together [for Islām] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the [stranded] traveler - an obligation [imposed] by Allah. And Allah is Knowing and Wise. }
