Asslamoalaikum, sisters, brother, friends and elders today we are discribing 3rd pillar of Islam?

What is Zakat?

Zakat (zakaat, zakah), or almsgiving, is one of the five pillars of Islam. This means that Zakat is mandatory for Muslims, along with the other four sacred pillars of Islam. For every sane, adult Muslim who owns wealth over a certain amount – known as the Nisab – he or she must pay 2.5% of that wealth as Zakat.

Eligible Muslims pay Zakat once a year, and it is due as soon as one lunar (Islamic) year has passed since meeting or exceeding the Nisab (certain amount of wealth). The Zakat of every Muslim is then distributed to those who meet the criteria to receive it.

…and those in whose wealth there is a recognised right, for the needy and deprived.

Qur’an | 70:24-5
Delivering your Zakat since 1984 for the sake of Allah

We know that when you give Zakat, you do it for the sake of Allah, out of love and obedience to the One who gave us the duty to care for those around us.

For 40 years, we have taken that sacred duty very seriously, and transformed your Zakat into someone’s lifeline in an emergency, someone’s chance to access their rights to food and water, and someone’s opportunity to break free from the poverty cycle. We spend the funds on the first category of Zakat – the poor and needy.

With four decades of expertise under our belt, we have even gone the extra mile with our Zakat Advisory board to ensure that every penny of your Zakat is spent in accordance with the Shariah (Islamic law) and as efficiently as possible.

Your Zakat is our Amanah, we know that we are accountable to you, to the people we serve, and, ultimately, to Allah.

The Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before they become liable to pay Zakat. This amount is often referred to as the Nisab threshold.

Gold and silver are the two values used to calculate the Nisab threshold. The Nisab is the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver.
Current Nisab value (10 March 2024)
Using value of silver 612.36 grams = £372.20
Using value of gold 87.48 grams = £4,766.75
A sacred pillar of Islam

Zakat is not just a fundamental pillar of Islam, it is also a revolutionary concept which can end extreme poverty – that is the power of Zakat!

Allah almighty give us permission read understand quran, tafseer hedith and fulfill the five pillars of islam. Ameen Allah hafiz
