Zakat

“And establish prayer and give zakat, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves – you will find it with Allah.” (2:110, Qur’an)

What is Zakat?

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam along with shahada (testimony of faith), prayers, fasting in the month of Ramadan, and pilgrimage to Makkah. It is a requirement of every sane, adult, able Muslim to give 2.5% of his or her wealth to help those in need.  

 

The circulation of wealth is sacred in Islam to ensure that the needy remains our responsibility to care for. Imagine if every rich individual in the world fulfilled zakat - there would not be as much hunger or despair in the world. 

 

Fulfill your Zakat this Ramadan by donating to Humaniti. We use your Zakat efficiently to relieve suffering, starting from those who are most vulnerable all over the world. 

 

“There is no envy except in two: a person whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and a person whom Allah has given wisdom (i.e. religious knowledge) and he gives his decisions accordingly and teaches it to the others.” (Sahih Bukhari)

 

We all believe that acts of kindness and generosity have immense power, especially in the blessed month of Ramadan where your good deeds are multiplied over and over again. Imagine how many lives you’re touching with your generosity. 

 

When you give, it also acts as a shield of protection. 

 

"Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity." (Al-Tirmidhi)

 

This Ramadan, your zakat will feed hungry families.
