Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, an obligatory act of worship that involves giving a portion of one’s wealth to those in need. It purifies wealth, promotes social justice, and strengthens community bonds by redistributing resources to the less fortunate.

- Obligatory (Fard): Muslims who meet the Nisab (minimum wealth threshold) must pay Zakat annually.
- Fixed Rate: Typically 2.5% of eligible savings, gold, silver, investments, and business assets after deducting debts.
- Eight Eligible Recipients: Includes the poor, needy, debtors, travelers, and those working in Zakat collection (Quran 9:60).

Common Uses of Zakat Funds

How to Calculate & Pay Zakat
- Determine Nisab: Check if your wealth exceeds the value of 85g of gold or 595g of silver.
