What is it?
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam — an obligatory 2.5% charge on the wealth a Muslim has held above the nisab threshold for one Islamic year.

Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase, and invoke [Allah's blessings] upon them. Indeed, your invocations are reassurance for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
— Surah At-Tawbah 9:103
About Zakat
Everything you need to know before you give.
Who pays it?
Every adult, sane Muslim whose net wealth crosses the Nisab and remains there until the Islamic year is complete is obligated to pay zakat.
When is it due?
Zakat becomes due once one full Islamic year (Hawl) has passed since your wealth first crossed the nisab. Many donors pay in Ramadan to multiply the reward.
How much?
2.5% of the wealth held above the Nisab. Not sure of your figure? Use the calculator to work it out.
Your impact
Where your gift lands
Your Zakat funds Zakat-eligible recipients only. The poor students at Anwarul Uloom Madrasa and orphans in the surrounding villages. UK admin and operations are funded separately and never touch your Zakat.
