This tool assists individuals in calculating their obligatory charitable contributions according to Islamic principles. It is designed to simplify the process of determining the amount of wealth subject to the annual levy, based on assets exceeding a specific threshold, known as Nisab. Users input their financial data, and the tool calculates the Zakat due.
The significance of these calculations lies in fulfilling a core tenet of Islam and supporting socio-economic well-being within communities. By accurately assessing and distributing the required amount, it contributes to poverty alleviation and promotes equitable resource distribution. Historically, such assessments were performed manually, but contemporary tools offer increased precision and ease of use.
