Time to Calculate Your Zakat?
Do you know if you owe zakat or if you are exempt? And if you do owe it, do you know how much Allah requires from you? In order to know this, you must do the calculation. The amount is not a percentage of your earnings, but rather a percentage of what you have saved over the last lunar year, and only if it reaches what is called “nisab”. You owe zakat only if your savings never dipped below nisab over the past lunar year. Nisab is equivalent to either 3 oz of gold or 21 oz of silver. The value of these metals changes daily. If you reach nisab, you owe 2.5% of your calculation. This is only $2.50 for every $100! If you don’t reach it, you don’t owe. Many people don’t really owe it, but give for the love of Allah and to help those needier than they are. They give to receive Allah’s blessings. Look for the Zakat Calculation form on the table in the lobby. Zakat can only be spent on the poor & needy, not masjid bills. We distribute based on Quran 9:60. Checks are made payable to Masjid Al Kauthar.
