Millions are homeless, living in extreme poverty, and lacking basic necessities such as clean water, food, and healthcare. These dire humanitarian conditions make your support essential. Your Zakat can be a lifeline for families in desperate need of hope.
Zakat: A Pillar of Islam and a Source of Aid for the Needy
Allah says in the Quran:
“And establish prayer and give Zakat and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 43]
Zakat, the third pillar of Islam, embodies social solidarity and compassion.
By giving Zakat, you not only fulfill a fundamental Islamic obligation but also provide critical assistance during times of crisis. Zakat fosters unity among Muslims, alleviates the suffering of the poor, and helps restore dignity and life to those in need.

What is Nisab, and how is it determined?
Nisab is the minimum threshold of wealth that makes a Muslim eligible to pay Zakat. It is equivalent to the value of 85 grams of pure gold or its monetary equivalent.
For instance:
If the price of gold is $50 per gram, the Nisab would be 85 × 50 = $4,250.
