The Importance of zakat
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam, alongside the testification of faith, prayer, fasting and the pilgrimage.
“Establish prayer, and pay the alms-tax (Zakat). Whatever good you send forth for yourselves, you will certainly find its reward with Allah. Surely Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.” [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:110]
How To Calculate
Your Zakat
It is a mandated charity of 2.5% on all surplus wealth, obligatory upon every sane adult Muslim whose wealth is above a specific amount, known as the Nisab.
By giving Zakat, Muslims purify their wealth and help sustain economic balance by empowering the impoverished and alleviating their hardships.
