Give Your Zakat With Confidence This Ramadan
Zakat is a required act of charity in Islam and one of the Five Pillars of faith. It is a 2.5% obligation on eligible wealth, given to those in need to ensure no one is left behind. Zakat purifies wealth and reinforces Islam’s values of mercy and responsibility.
During Ramadan, the reward for Zakat is multiplied, making it the most meaningful time to fulfill this obligation and help those facing hardship.
What Your Donations Provide
“And establish prayer and give Zakat, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves – you will find it with Allah. Indeed, Allah sees what you do.” [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:110]
