Zakat is one of the five essential pillars of Islam. It serves as a divine financial purification mechanism designed to eliminate poverty, uplift destitute families, and restore dignity to marginalized communities. At IQRA Welfare Trust, co-founded by Munawwar Hassan (President) and Rashid Nadwi, we handle every Zakat contribution with absolute integrity, disbursing 100% of Zakat funds to verified eligible families across Delhi NCR.

How to Calculate Your Zakat (2.5% Rate)

Zakat becomes mandatory when your total net wealth equals or exceeds the Nisab threshold (equivalent to 87.48 grams of Gold or 612.36 grams of Silver) and is held for one full lunar year. The obligatory Zakat rate is 2.5% (1/40th) of your total net eligible wealth.

Zakat Formula Quick Reference:

Zakat Payable = (Cash + Gold/Silver Value + Business Inventory + Savings - Short-Term Debts) × 0.025

Eligible Beneficiaries Under Surah At-Tawbah (8:60)

Zakat funds are strictly disbursed to the eligible categories listed in the Quran:

  1. Al-Fuqara (The Poor): Families living without basic food and shelter.
  2. Al-Masakin (The Destitute): Individuals living below poverty threshold.
  3. Orphans & Widows: Supporting food relief (Emergency Food Ration) and education (Child Education Sponsorship).
  4. Medical Emergency Patients: Funding urgent surgeries and medicine (Free Medical Camps).
