Zakat
Zakat is a virtuous act of worship that strengthens the bond between the wealthy and the poor. It purifies wealth, softens the heart, and protects the soul from greed and attachment to worldly possessions.
ZAKAT IMPACT
Your Zakat. Their Hope.
Zakat is more than a financial obligation — it is a powerful act of compassion that restores dignity, relieves hardship, and strengthens communities. Through your Zakat, families struggling with poverty receive food, clean water, shelter, and vital support that helps them rebuild their lives with hope and stability.
By choosing to give your Zakat through The Raza Foundation, you ensure that your contribution reaches those who need it most, creating real and lasting change.
Your Zakat directly supports vulnerable families across Pakistan and beyond, providing emergency relief, sustainable development projects, and essential resources for those facing hardship.
ABOUT ZAKAT
Understanding Nisab
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before they become eligible to pay Zakat. It ensures that only those with sufficient means contribute, while protecting those who are struggling financially.
The Nisab is calculated based on the value of gold or silver. Traditionally, it equals:
87.48 grams of gold
612.36 grams of silver
Because the value of silver is lower than gold, using the silver Nisab allows more people in need to benefit from Zakat contributions. For this reason, we use the Silver Nisab threshold to maximise support for vulnerable communities.
