Zakat

 

 

 

Your Zakat is our Amanah

Global Rahmah Foundation spends your Zakat donations in the most effective way possible to relieve the suffering of the world’s most vulnerable people.

 

We spend the funds on the first category of Zakat – the poor and needy. We take the responsibility of delivering your donations very seriously. We know that we are accountable to you, to the people we serve, and, ultimately, to Allah.

Who Receives my Zakat?

  • 1) The poor and needy
  • 2) The destitute

 

Zakat cannot be used to build mosques, to bury the deceased, or to clear the debt of the deceased.

 

Your Zakat is distributed by Global Rahmah Foundation to those in need, to our brothers and sisters to remind them that they are not forgotten. Your Zakat will see them on their way to becoming happier, healthier and better adjusted, so they may become the Zakat givers in the future, not the receivers.

Am I obligated to pay Zakat?

Zakat is payable on one’s Nisab. It should be calculated on any surplus wealth you have had for at least one lunar year. Items one must pay Zakat for are:

 

  • 1. Gold, silver, precious metal, including ornaments/ jewellery containing gold/silver.
  • 2. Stocks and shares.
  • 3. Money you have lent to others.
  • 4. Cash in bank accounts, committees or at home.
  • 5. Any business stock.
  • 6. Agricultural produce and livestock (cows, chickens, goats etc).
  • 7. Pensions.
  • 8. Property you own for investment purposes.

Donate Your Zakat: Your donations enable us to save lives

Your Zakat has funded some of our crucial work with people and communities living in disaster and war zones: drought and famine-struck countries across East Africa and communities affected by conflict in Syria. Your generosity has enabled communities to build sustainable livelihoods in the face of climate change, and enabled better lives for vulnerable orphans and families across the globe.

 

Alhamdulillah, you have the power to transform people’s lives.

How much is Zakat?

 

Your Zakat donation should amount to 2.5% of your total zakatable wealth. Therefore, if your total assets (after any debts owed) amounted to £10,000, you would pay £250. Use our free and easy Zakat Calculator to calculate how much you owe.



How do I Calculate How Much Zakat I Owe?


The easiest way to calculate your Zakat is by finding the monetary value of each type of wealth, then calculating 2.5% of the total sum.  

Don’t underestimate the impact of your Zakat. Donate your Zakat now and fulfil your duty towards the less fortunate.
