What Is Zakat?

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is an obligatory form of charity that eligible Muslims must pay annually on certain types of wealth that meet the Nisab threshold and have been held for one lunar year (Hawl).

Zakat helps:

• Purify wealth

• Support those in need

• Promote social justice

• Strengthen the community

Zakat Calculation Basics

Zakat is generally calculated at 2.5% (1/40) of eligible wealth that exceeds the Nisab.

Common Zakatable Assets Include:

• Cash and bank savings

• Gold and silver

• Business inventory

• Investments and shares

• Rental income (saved amount)

Deductions May Include:

• Short-term debts

• Immediate liabilities

Nisab Explained

Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must own before Zakat becomes obligatory.

• Gold (≈ 87.48 grams) or

• Silver (≈ 612.36 grams)

Many scholars recommend using the silver Nisab to ensure broader eligibility for Zakat.
