Donate Zakat
What is Zakat?
Zakat is an obligatory charity in Islam that helps the poor and needy. Every adult, financially stable Muslim must give 2.5% of their wealth if they meet the required minimum (Nisab).
Allah says in the Qur’an (9:60):
"The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and for the wayfarers; a duty imposed by Allah."
By giving Zakat, you purify your wealth and help those in need.

How to Calculate Zakat?
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and is a form of obligatory charity designed to purify your wealth and help those in need. Use our Zakat Calculator to easily calculate your Zakat obligations. Simply enter your assets, savings, investments, and liabilities, and the calculator will help you determine the exact amount you should give.
Step 1: Check Your Assets
Add up the total value of your eligible assets, including:
- Gold & Silver (both jewelry and investment)
- Cash on hand and in bank accounts
- Business profits and trade goods
- Stocks, bonds, and other investments
It is important to include all forms of wealth that have been in your possession for a full lunar year.
Step 2: Subtract Liabilities
Deduct any immediate debts or liabilities, such as loans or money you owe that must be paid within the next year. Zakat is calculated on your **net wealth**, not on what you owe others.
Step 3: Compare with Nisab
Nisab is the minimum threshold of wealth that makes one eligible to pay Zakat. If your remaining net wealth is above Nisab, you are required to pay 2.5% of your eligible wealth as Zakat. This ensures that wealth is shared and circulates within the community.
What is Nisab?
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must have before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is measured either in gold or silver.
Nisab for 2025:
- Gold: 85 grams of pure gold
- Silver: 595 grams of pure silver
If your wealth exceeds the Nisab value, you are obligated to pay Zakat to purify your wealth and support those in need.
When is Zakat Due?
- Zakat is due once a year, after you have held your wealth for a full Islamic lunar year (approximately 355 days).
- Your primary home, basic household items, and personal necessities are exempt from Zakat.
- Businesses must pay Zakat on stock, profits, and trade goods.
- Timely payment of Zakat is a moral and spiritual responsibility in Islam.
Where Does Your Zakat Go?
Zakat plays a vital role in alleviating poverty and supporting the needy. Alkhidmat Foundation uses your Zakat contributions for:
- Helping orphans, widows, and vulnerable families
- Providing clean water and basic necessities
- Supporting education, healthcare, and vocational programs
- Emergency disaster relief and humanitarian aid
Your Zakat directly impacts lives and contributes to building a stronger, compassionate community.
“Take from their wealth a charity to cleanse them and purify them” – Al Qur’an 9:10
By paying Zakat, you not only fulfill a religious obligation but also purify your soul, strengthen social bonds, and help create a society where wealth circulates fairly among all members.
