EASY GUIDE FOR NEW MUSLIMS

1.4) ZAKAT (OBLIGATORY CHARITY)

Allah ordained every Muslim who possesses a certain amount of property  to pay the ‘Zakat’ (obligatory charity) annually out of their possessions. It is a purification of our wealth, immensely rewarded by Allah and brings economic balance in the society. It is usually 2.5 % of  our stored wealth.  Zakat is given usually during the month of Ramadan and is collected by many Mosques which then distribute it to the needy.  For precise calculation of  Zakat, contact  the Mosque nearest you to obtain a Zakat calculation Sheets.
