Zakat

Zakat – Purify Your Wealth, Uplift a Life

What is Zakat?

Zakat is the third pillar of Islam—a divinely ordained obligation upon eligible Muslims to give a fixed portion (2.5%) of their wealth annually to those in need. It is not a charity, but a right of the poor and a powerful means of wealth purification. By fulfilling this duty, Muslims honor Allah’s command and play a vital role in promoting social justice, compassion, and economic balance in society.

“Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase…”
— Qur’an, Surah At-Tawbah (9:103)
