Zakat

As Salaamalaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh Brothers & Sisters!

Fulfilling your Zakat is an act of faith that purifies wealth while also serving humanity. Your payment offers recipients much-needed help, hope and a chance to improve their lives; from providing orphaned children access to education or supporting family members overwhelmed with bills - you can make a difference!

Zakat, Zakah, Zekat (زكاة) = "that which purifies"
Zakat al-mal (زكاة المال) = "zakat on wealth"

This annual payment is compulsory and is equal to 2.5% (or 1/40) of one's wealth.
