Islam has made the payment of Zakāh a compulsory obligation upon each Muslim. Although Zakāh is a fundamental pillar of faith, many Muslims are confused by the subject and are paying incorrectly, therefore we at 1st Ethical have partnered with Al-Qalam Sharī‘ah Scholar Panel to produce the guide to ‘Understanding & Calculating Zakāh’.
This guide offers practical advice to UK based Muslims on tax-efficient Zakāh-giving in a manner that is both easy to understand and easy to implement. It provides one with the all the information they need to calculate their own Zakāh, which they can do using the enclosed ‘Zakāh Self-Assessment Form’.
“In their wealth there is a known share for the beggars and destitute” (Qur’ān, 70:24-25)
“Take alms from their property that you may purify and sanctify them and pray for them. Verily your prayers are a comfort for them.” (Qur’ān, 9:103)
