What is Zakat?
Zakat literally means “purification” and “growth.” It represents the amount of wealth a Muslim is required to give annually to certain categories of people when their wealth exceeds the threshold, known as Nisab. The act of giving Zakat purifies one's wealth and promotes the redistribution of wealth within the community, helping to minimize inequality.
How is Zakat Calculated?
Zakat is usually calculated at 2.5% of an individual’s savings and wealth that has been held for one lunar year. This includes cash, gold, silver, investments, business income, and any other qualifying forms of wealth. However, personal items like one's home, car, clothing, and everyday essentials are excluded.
