Zakat FAQ's

What is Zakat? And How Important is Zakat?
ZakatĀ isĀ one of the five pillars of Islam. It has been mentioned, along with daily Prayers (Salaat), overĀ seventyĀ times in the Quran. Allah’s word commanding ā€œ…and establish regular Salaat and give regularĀ Zakatā€¦ā€ are referred to in many parts of the Quran. From this we can conclude thatĀ after Salaat,Ā ZakatĀ is the most important act in Islam.
Ā 
Just as Salaat is the most important act of worship which has to be performed bodily, so isĀ ZakatĀ the main act of worship which has to be performed monetarily.Ā Those who fulfil this duty have been promised abundantĀ rewardĀ in this world and hereafter. Whoever evadesĀ ZakatĀ has been sternly warned in theĀ Qur’anĀ andĀ HadithĀ of the consequences.
Ā 
Linguistically,Ā ZakatĀ has two meanings:Ā purificationĀ andĀ growth. Technically, it means to purify one’s possession of wealth by distributing a prescribed amount to the poor, the indigent, the slaves or captives, and the wayfarer.

There are eight categories of people who are eligible to receive Zakat. These include:

  • The poor

  • The needy

  • Administrators responsible for collecting and distributing Zakat

  • Those whose hearts are being reconciled to Islam (such as new Muslims)

  • Those who are enslaved

  • Those burdened by debt

  • Those striving in the cause of Allah

  • Travellers in need (including refugees)

  • Zakat is an obligation upon every sane, adult Muslim whose wealth reaches or exceeds theĀ Nisab. Once a full lunar (Islamic) year has passed from the time this threshold is met, Zakat becomes due and must be paid annually. This compulsory charity is then distributed to those who are eligible to receive it under Islamic guidelines.

The Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must own before Zakat becomes obligatory. It represents the threshold that determines eligibility for paying Zakat.

Traditionally, the Nisab is calculated using the value of gold or silver. During the time of Prophet Muhammad ļ·ŗ, this threshold was set at the equivalent of 87.48 grams of gold and 612.36 grams of silver (or 85 grams of gold and 595 grams of silver, according to another scholarly opinion).

Because gold and silver are no longer used as everyday currency, their modern market values fluctuate. As a result, the monetary value of the Nisab can vary from year to year.
