Zakat

Zakat is one of the pillars of Islam, every year those Muslims whose wealth has reached Nisab (the minimum value of total wealth one must possess in order to pay Zakat), they must pay 2.5% Zakat on it.

Alhamdulillah as Muslims we believe that Zakat is a wonderful ibadah and its benefits manifest in the payer, beneficiary and the wider society.
