Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and an essential obligation for eligible Muslims. Zakat serves as a means of purifying your wealth.
By giving zakat, you contribute directly to the welfare of the less fortunate, providing them with the basic necessities of life, such as food, clothing, shelter, education, and healthcare.
Your Zakat can be used to support sustainable development projects, vocational training, and initiatives that create long-term solutions for poverty eradication.
There are eight categories of people who are eligible to receive Zakat.
- The poor
- The needy
- Administrators of Zakat
- Those whose hearts have been recently reconciled
- Those who have been enslaved
- Those in debt
- In the cause of God
- Travellers (including refugees)
