What Is Zakat?
Purify Your Wealth. Uplift Lives.
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and an obligation for eligible Muslims. Typically 2.5% of qualifying wealth, it purifies what we own while supporting those in need.
Allah (SWT) says:
“Take, [O, Muhammad], from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase...”
— Qur'an 9:103 (Surah At-Tawbah)
Our neighbours have rights over us. Fulfill your obligation by supporting eligible individuals and families right here in Canada.
