The act of giving Zakat goes beyond a simple donation; it is a means of purifying one's wealth and fostering a sense of responsibility towards those in need.
By giving towards the needy through Zakat, Muslims contribute to the creation of a more equitable society. This act fosters a sense of community and shared responsibility, as those who are financially able support those who may be facing economic hardships.
Global Ehsan Relief offers our own zakat calculator to help you determine how much zakat you need to pay. The zakat calculator considers your comprehensive net assets (total wealth). Remember that charity in Islam (Zakat) is not just one of the core pillars of Islam, but a tool to help ease poverty, suffering and hardship worldwide.
