OUR CHARITABLE
PURPOSE
WHAT IS SADAQAH & ZAKAT?
Sadaqah is charity given voluntarily in order to please God. Sadaqah also describes a voluntary charitable act towards others, whether through generosity, love, compassion or faith. These acts are not necessarily physical or monetary. Simple good deeds such as a smile, or a helping hand, are seen as acts of Sadaqah.
​
What do you say when giving Sadaqah?
​
Say: Whatever ye spend that is good, is for parents and kindred and orphans and those in want and for wayfarers. And whatever ye do that is good, -Allah knoweth it well. Kind words and the covering of faults are better than charity followed by injury. Allah is free of all wants, and He is Most-Forbearing.
​
One of the five pillars of Islam is Zakat, an act of worship. Zakah is a religious obligation that purifies our provisions and distributes surplus wealth to those who need it. It is essentially a purification.
​
Who should pay Zakat?
​
Every Muslim who has reached puberty is sane and has more than the minimum amount of wealth for one year is required to give zakat.
​
Calculating your Zakat:
​
£ value of your (Gold /Sliver) + £ (Currency) + £ (Business stock) = Total wealth minus debt divide by 40 = £ (Zakat due)
