Zakat

Your small contribution can change the life of many.
The purpose of Zakat is ultimately to increase faith and devotion to Allah (God). It also acts as a social safety net for those in need and a means to uplift the entire community and help Muslims and Islam thrive. Zakat is a pillar of Islam and as such it works together with the other four pillars as a way of upholding and strengthening the religion.
By giving Zakat Muslims cleanse their own wealth. Zakat helps to keep the economy flowing by freeing people from burden and giving them the chance to reach their potential.
Anyone who’s a Muslim, adult (has reached puberty) and is sane, is expected to give Zakat if they have the minimum amount of wealth, which is known as the Nisab.
Who should be getting Zakat?
The Quran tells us eight groups of people who should be given Zakat:
Indeed, Zakat expenditures are only for
- The poor and
- The needy, and
- To those who work on [administering] it, and
- For bringing hearts together, and
- To [free] those in bondage, and
- For those in debt, and
- for the cause of God, and
- For the stranded traveler.
- [This is] an Obligation from God. God is All-Knowing,All-Wise.
