How do you pay zakat?

In order to pay Zakat, it is important to begin by calculating how much Zakat you need to pay. Zakat varies from person to person, and from year to year, as it is a percentage of one’s wealth, which reflects how much income and expenditure you have at that specific time. Muslim Charity has developed a  Zakat Calculator  to make this a lot easier for you, and take away the stress. Our  Zakat calculator  is simple to use. All you need to do is insert your information into the various fields, and our Zakat calculator will do the hard work for you! You will be provided with the total Zakat donation you need to make. Once you know how much Zakat you need to pay, you are able to pay your Zakat in any way you see fit. You can support a charity directly like Muslim Charity, and donate via our website or make a bank transfer. To find out more, feel free to call our team at any time and make sure your Zakat reaches those in need, in time.

How can you make people donate to charity?

  When trying to raise funds for charitable initiatives or projects, one of the most important things is to communicate what the need is on the ground, and why this work is important. People are more likely to support your work when they can see how dangerous, impoverished or miserable the situation is on the ground. Using statistics, images and live updates is a great way to be able to clearly show the situation on the ground. While showing the need on the ground and the suffering, it is also important to show the potential impact of the project, and the great things it can achieve. This helps those giving money to see the value of their donations and be inclined to give more.

What is Sadaqah Jariyah – Best ways of performing Sadaqah

  “Indeed, it is we who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things we have accounted for in a clear register.” (Qur’an, 36:12)   What is Sadaqah Jariyah? Sadaqah is a form of charity in Islam that is completely voluntary for the one giving it. Giving charity in this way is highly rewardable, and there are no rules for the giver in terms of when it should be given, where, how much, or to whom. Sadaqah Jariyah is a special type of voluntary charity: It is ongoing. The recipient will benefit from the charity continually, and it is believed that this means that the giver will be receiving good deeds for a long time – even after their death. For example, giving somebody some food could be considered an act of Sadaqah, as it is helping to alleviate hunger for those in need. The provision of the food itself tends to help the recipient, once. Giving water, through establishing a water hand pump or well, however, is an...
