Every Muslim pays 2.5% of his or her surplus wealth to the poor every single year. The purpose of Zakat is to purify your wealth. Muslims cannot consume their earnings until they have paid the obligatory dues. So in short the sustenance you eat, earn or consume is not lawful until you have paid the due Zakat on it, which is 2.5% of the net surplus per annum.

Zakat is only supposed to be spent locally. In fact the Prophet Muhammad Peace & Blessings Be Upon Him, never sent any Zakat to foreign areas neither did he encourage it. The primary function of Zakat is to create Social Balance in the society where the money was earned, this is the way your wealth is then purified.

ABOUT ZAKAT

Zakat (Alms Giving) is the 3rd Pillar of Islam. It has a clear and distinctive objective. It is often considered as a compulsory charity in Islam, one which everyone who claims they are Muslim MUST pay if they exceed the savings limit, set by God Almighty.

To assist you in determining your total payment, we have created a 2022 Zakat calculator for UK donors, complete with nisab values and a detailed breakdown. Utilise this tool to help you successfully complete your Zakat payment this year and begin making an impact on the lives of struggling people around the world.
