Zakat
Purify Your Wealth, Transform Lives
Your Zakat is not just charity. It is worship. It is hope. It is life-saving support for those in need.
The Spiritual Power of Zakat
Zakat is more than an obligation; it is a divine gift that purifies our wealth and hearts. It frees us from greed and attachment to material possessions, while uplifting the most vulnerable among us. Through your Zakat, you are answering Allah’s call to compassion, justice, and mercy.
How Your Zakat Changes Lives
Your Zakat provides essential support to families struggling to survive in poverty and crisis. Every pound you give helps us deliver aid where it is needed most.
-
Food Parcels: Nutritious packs filled with rice, oil, lentils, chickpeas, and more — enough to feed an entire family for a month. Distributed in Lebanon, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Uganda, and Gaza.
-
Emergency Relief:Urgent aid delivered to conflict and disaster zones, ensuring no one is left behind.
-
Sustainable Support: Empowering communities with resources to rebuild and thrive.
In 2023, thanks to generous Zakat donors, we sent tonnes of food parcels to Gaza, bringing relief to countless families facing hunger and hardship.
Giving Dignity with Cash Assistance
Whenever possible, we distribute Zakat as direct cash assistance. This restores dignity and gives families the freedom to decide what they need most:
- A father buying medicine for his sick child
- A mother purchasing clothes to keep her children warm
- Parents covering school materials so their children can learn and grow
Once your Zakat reaches them, it becomes their lifeline — spent on whatever urgent need their heart aches to fulfil.
Be the Answer to Their Prayers
Your Zakat is more than numbers; it is mercy in action.
– $50 could feed a family for a month
– $100 could provide urgent medical care and essentials
– $200 could support multiple families with dignity and hope
By giving your Zakat, you are not only fulfilling your duty — you are changing lives and uplifting souls.
Zakat Calculator
Calculating your Zakat isn't as difficult as you may think. We find that breaking your assets down into different categories makes the Zakat calculation process really simple.

Calculations
Your amount subject to Zakat al-Maal must be over the nisab equal to 85 grams (3 ounces) of gold, which is $7,750 as of February 3, 2025.
If your amount subject to Zakat al-Maal is not over the nisab, you do not owe Zakat al-Maal this year. However, you still owe Zakat al-Fitr ($10 per person in your household, including yourself).
