Zakat: Faith in Action
"Protect your wealth by giving Zakaat, heal your sickness by giving charity, and prepare for calamities with supplication."Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) - Abu Dawood
Fulfilling a Divine Obligation
Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It is a mandatory charitable contribution (2.5% of excess wealth) that supports the community, purifies one's wealth, and offers protection from misfortune.
Zakat serves as a social safety net, ensuring that widows, orphans, the impoverished, and the disenfranchised are not left behind. It is a remedy for poverty and a spiritual purifier for the giver.
Understanding Zakat
Zakat is more than a tax; it is a duty from God based on mercy, accountability, and justice. It reminds us that all riches are owed to Allah, and we are simply His stewards.
The Obligation
A mandatory duty for eligible Muslims.
- Requirement: 2.5% of total value annually.
- Assets: Excess cash, savings, gold, silver.
- Recipients: The poor, needy, indebted, and travelers (Qur'an 9:60).
Social Justice
Reducing wealth disparity in the community.
- Ensures money is distributed equitably
- Cleanses the heart of avarice
- Significant drop in poverty rates when practiced
Restoring Dignity
Honoring the recipient, not just helping them.
- No humiliation for recipients
- Opportunities for social independence
- Empowerment through trade and education
Total Transparency Promise
Serving Humanity First is focused on fulfilling the actual intention of Zakat by getting donations to the beneficiaries who need them most, with a promise of total transparency.
- Financial Accountability: Donors receive detailed reports with visual evidence.
- Verify Every Detail: From collection to delivery, including vendor details and bills.
- 100% Policy: We guarantee no fees are taken from your gift, maximizing the impact.
- Rigorous Selection: Ensuring aid goes only to rightful recipients (widows, orphans, madrasas).
Purifying Wealth & Soul
"Those who establish prayer and give Zakat as the people who will be rewarded with Paradise" (Qur'an 2:277).
By offering 2.5% of your wealth, you do not just fulfill a fundamental responsibility; you offer a lifeline. Zakat calms hearts, uplifts society, and heals sickness.
