Zakat is owed, and where it lands matters. Yours can reach a child in one of Pakistan's least-served communities and keep them in school for the year ahead.
Understanding Zakat and who it is for
Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, is obligatory upon every Muslim whose wealth meets or exceeds the Nisab threshold. Zakat is due only if the wealth equal to or above the Nisab has been owned for a full Islamic lunar year (hawl).
Nisab is the minimum amount of net capital that a Muslim must possess in order to be eligible to pay Zakat, which is prescribed as the equivalent of 87.48 grams (7.5 tola) of gold and 612.36 grams (52.5 tola) of silver, respectively.
How we spend your Zakat

Questions about Zakat
Nisab, eligibility, and how your Zakat is handled once it reaches us.
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam. It signifies the amount of wealth a Muslim pays to the poor and underprivileged people. Zakat is a compulsory act of worship and signifies the responsibility and duty the richer have towards those in need. Literal meaning of the word Zakat is ‘to cleanse.’ Muslims believe that paying Zakat purifies their wealth and pleases Allah SWT.
Your Zakat can transform lives and help those in need.
