Zakat 2026
Give Your Zakat.
Transform a Life.
Fulfil one of the Five Pillars of Islam with confidence.
Your Zakat is a trust, and a right owed to those in need. Through Reaching People In Need (RPN), every eligible Zakat donation is distributed in accordance with Islamic guidelines and directed to those entitled to receive it. Give today and turn an obligation into lasting relief for a family facing hardship.
Understanding Your Zakat
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam and an obligation upon every eligible Muslim. It is an annual act of worship through which a fixed share of qualifying wealth is given to those in need, purifying both wealth and the heart. Far more than a donation, Zakat restores balance within the community and reminds us that what we hold is a blessing to be shared.
