About Zakkat

Zakkat Collection and Distribution is a fundamental aspect of Islamic charity, aimed at fostering social justice and economic equity. Zakkat, an obligatory form of almsgiving, is collected from eligible individuals who meet the required financial threshold (Nisab). These contributions are then redistributed to specified groups in need, such as the poor, orphans, the sick, and those burdened with debt.

The process begins by identifying and educating those obligated to give Zakkat about their duty and the benefits it brings to society. Once collected, Zakkat is carefully allocated according to Islamic guidelines, ensuring it reaches those who are most vulnerable and deserving.

Through this system, the redistribution of wealth helps alleviate poverty, reduce inequality, and support social welfare programs. By fulfilling their Zakkat obligations, contributors help create a balanced society where basic needs are met, fostering a stronger, more unified community. The transparency and accountability in Zakkat distribution are essential to maintaining public trust and ensuring that resources are used effectively for their intended purpose.
