Zakat is a religious obligation, ordering all Muslims who meet the necessary criteria to donate a certain portion of wealth each year to charitable causes. Zakat is based on income and the value of possessions. The common minimum amount for those who qualify is 2.5%.
“And establish prayer and give Zakat, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves – you will find it with Allah.” (2:110, Qur’an)
As one of the pillars of Islam, zakat is a form of obligatory charity that has the potential to ease the suffering of millions. Donate your Zakat today!
