ZAKAH, Fulfilling Your Obligation With Impact

1. Are adult and of sound mind

2. Own wealth above the nisab threshold for one full Islamic year

3. Have surplus assets after deducting necessary expenses

This includes savings, business assets, gold, silver, and other qualifying wealth.

The standard rate of Zakah on monetary wealth and savings is 2.5% (one-fortieth) of your total eligible wealth. For example, if your savings above your expenses are £10,000 and above the nisab threshold, your zakah liability is £250.

You can use our Zakah Calculator to easily determine the exact amount you owe based on your personal circumstances.

Use our online Zakah calculator to determine your due amount, then choose how you want to distribute your Zakah, whether to the most urgent cases, food and water support, or communities in crisis.

Zakah must be distributed to those defined by the Qur’an and Sunnah as rightful beneficiaries. These include:

1. The poor and needy

2. Those burdened by debt

3. Orphans and widows

4. Stranded travellers

5. Others in genuine hardship

At Mercy Outreach Global, your Zakah is used in strict accordance with Islamic principles to support the most deserving in the Ummah and beyond.

Your Zakah donation is distributed transparently and ethically to ensure maximum impact. It helps provide:

1. Food and clean water for families

2. Emergency relief in war, famine, and disaster zones

3. Support for widows, orphans, and those burdened by debt

4. Livelihood and stability support for those struggling to provide for themselves or their families

We adhere to Islamic guidelines and scholarly oversight to honour your trust and fulfill this obligation properly.

In addition to annual Zakah on wealth, there is Zakat al-Fitr, a compulsory donation given at the end of Ramadan. It purifies the fasting person and ensures the needy can celebrate Eid with dignity. This form of Zakah is typically given as staple food or its equivalent monetary value before the Eid prayer.

1. Your zakah is distributed according to Islamic principles

2. Donations reach eligible beneficiaries in high-impact contexts

3. We ensure transparency, accountability, and care in every distribution

4. You help transform lives while fulfilling your sacred duty

7. Your Zakah is a blessing returned to you.

Give Zakah now and be a means of mercy, healing, and hope.
