ZAKAT
Turkiye' Earthquake Emergency Appeal
Zakat must fulfil three conditions to be deemed valid. Firstly, the individual offering Zakat must be a Muslim. Secondly, the wealth designated for Zakat must surpass a specified threshold, referred to as the Nisab. Lastly, the wealth in question must have been owned for a complete lunar year before the obligation of paying Zakat arises.
The nisab, or the weight at which Zakat becomes necessary, is currently set at 85 grammes of gold or 595 grammes of silver. The nisab for cash and other forms of wealth is based on current market value. Once the nisab has been satisfied, 2.5% of the wealth must be paid as Zakat. This indicates that if a person’s wealth is worth $10,000, they are required to pay $250 in Zakat
- Zakat is calculated by deducting immediate needs and living expenses from total income, considering the Nisab threshold.
- The Zakat amount is 2.5% of the Zakat able wealth.
- SAHARA’s Online Zakat Calculator simplifies the calculation process.
- Understanding the fundamental principles of Zakat and its computation allows us to make a meaningful impact on society and fulfill religious obligations.
- To calculate Zakat, identify Zakat able income, including sources like gold, silver, cash, stocks, and property.
How Zakat Changes Lives
- The primary purpose of Zakat is to assist the poor, needy, and disadvantaged by ensuring their basic needs are met.
- At SAHARA, we focus on distributing Zakat in a way that empowers people to break the cycle of poverty and achieve financial independence. Additionally, part of our Zakat distribution goes to support the Sughra Shafi Hospital in Narowal, aiding needy patients in accessing essential medical care.

While Zakat holds significant importance in Islam, it is not an obligatory duty for everyone.
The following guidelines can assist you in determining whether Zakat is mandatory for you:
- Engaging in charity, particularly through the act of giving Zakat in the name of Allah, yields significant positive impacts for both the individual carrying out the charitable deed and the society in which they reside. These benefits encompass:
Unification in the cause of Allah, accompanied by angelic prayers for those contributing to divine purposes.
- Zakat functions as a safeguard from hellfire for those who wholeheartedly obey Allah with unwavering faith.
Furthermore, the act of donation fosters a sense of belonging within society by facilitating balanced wealth distribution. This uplifts the poor and needy, thereby diminishing social disparities and nurturing equality among individuals by the intentions of Allah.
- Zakat is compulsory for mentally sound Muslim adults who own a minimum amount of Zakatable wealth (Nisab) for at least one lunar year.
- Minors with trust funds or inheritances may also have an obligation to pay Zakat, contingent upon specific conditions.
Zakat is mandatory for mentally sound adult Muslims who possess the minimum amount of Zakatable wealth (Nisab) continuously for at least one lunar year. It is a charitable practice in Islam with numerous benefits for individuals and society. Consider the following points for calculating Zakat and gaining insights:
Zakat extends beyond being a yearly obligation; it serves as a potent tool for uplifting and aiding the needy. Its significance is underscored in the Quran, where it is mentioned more than 30 times and interconnected with prayer.
Paying Zakat signifies a commitment to both personal development and community service.
