What is Zakat
Zakat is not a random form of charity or imposed tax; Zakat is not a means of giving to be generous – it is something that Allah has ordained us to do – it is an obligation. As Muslims, Zakat has been set out as one of the pillars of Islam to achieve financial and spiritual reform, eliminate greed and consolidate the Islamic economy – this, in turn, will lead to its stability and prosperity.
The Qur’an describes Zakat as: The means by which to attain Allah’s mercy
Zakat stands as the Fourth Pillar of Islam, coming immediately after Salat and Som. Every Muslim possessing the designated minimal amount of wealth (called Nisab) for the full cycle of a year must, as a matter of worship, give Zakat.
What is Nisab
What is the nisab threshold? The Zakat nisab value is the minimum threshold required for an individual to be eligible to pay Zakat in that specific year. Your total overall wealth must meet or exceed the nisab value in order for you to be eligible to pay Zakat, which is prescribed as the equivalent of:
87.48 grams (7.5 tola) of gold or
612.36 grams (52.5 tola) of silver, respectively.
