What is Zakat?

Zakat is a compulsory type of charity in Islam that is one of the five pillars, making it a religious duty for all eligible Muslims. It’s given every year once a believer has met the Nisab threshold, which is the minimum amount of wealth someone must own before they need to donate Zakat. The donation is given once a Muslim meets the Nisab and has held that wealth for a full lunar year (Hawl).

The aim of this yearly donation is to cleanse wealth and redistribute it to those who need it most, showcasing the importance of empathy in Islam and reminding Muslims that possessions are blessings and aren’t the most important part of life. Zakat also helps to build a stronger ummah and strengthens faith, while saving countless lives.

Who Has to Pay Zakat?

So, who has to pay Zakat? This type of charity must be given by any Muslim who owns wealth that meets the Nisab threshold and has been held for a full Islamic year. Zakat covers most possessions and takes a portion of their value to give to the poor and needy. This means that the amount that must be paid can vary because it depends on the value of your possessions. However, the rate for Zakat for every type of possession is 2.5% of the value.

The assets Zakat is calculated on cover gold and silver possessions, as well as other assets such as cash, second properties and savings. It’s important to know the Nisab for your assets. Gold and silver assets are the most popular possessions that Zakat is paid on. The Nisab for gold is 87.48 grams, and the silver Nisab is set at 612.36 grams. This means that you must own these amounts of gold or silver before you qualify to pay Zakat on it.
