Zakat (also known as ‘Zakah’), is the giving of a set amount of your wealth to charity. Muslims pay Zakat as an act of worship, and although it is sometimes compared to a tax, it isn’t like taxes imposed by governments. Zakat is a spiritual duty, solely for the sake of Allah.
It is the third pillar out of the five pillars of Islam and extremely important to Muslims around the world. Zakaat is mentioned alongside Salah (also spelled as ‘Salat’) in 82 verses of the Qur’an. Zakat is a compulsory act of worship that requires Muslims with wealth over a certain threshold (Nisaab) to donate a portion of percentage, typically 2.5%, to those who fall into one or more of eight categories designated by Allah in the Quran.Use this App to easily calculate the amount of your total annual Zakat.
