Zakat is the third pillar of Islam. It is an annual charity that every financially eligible Muslim must do. As a percentage of one’s wealth, zakat is distributed to the poor, needy, debtors, travelers, and those involved in spreading Islam. The practice of Zakat aims to purify one’s wealth and serve as a means of social welfare, fostering economic equality and compassion within the Muslim community.

Support our brothers and sisters in need, who rely on our efforts and generosity.
