Understanding Zakat — and How Yours Saves Lives
1 March 2025

Zakat — 2.5% of your zakatable wealth held for one lunar year above the nisab threshold — is one of the five pillars of Islam and a powerful engine of social welfare.
Zakatable wealth includes cash in hand and bank accounts, gold and silver, business inventory, shares and money lent out, minus immediate liabilities like debts due, wages owed and bills payable.
