Az-Zakah
“Purifying charity”
What is Zakat?
Zakat means giving a small part of our savings to people who need help. Grown-ups who have enough savings give 2.5% each year. That is just 2.50 out of every 100!
Why do we give?
Everything we have is a gift from Allah. Giving Zakat helps people who are poor or hungry, and it cleans our hearts from being greedy.
How can kids join in?
Zakat is for adults with savings, but kids can give sadaqah, which is any kind of charity, at any time! Sharing your toys, helping a friend or even smiling at someone counts.
“Your smile in the face of your brother is charity.”
