When you pay your Zakat, you help clean and protect your wealth. The Qur'an teaches that charity purifies what we own (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:103). So Zakat is about far more than money. It is about mercy, fairness, and caring for one another as one big family.
Zakat sits at the very heart of our faith. It reminds us that everything we have is a gift from Allah. Because of this, we hold our wealth in trust. When we give, we thank Allah, and we share His mercy with brothers and sisters who are struggling.
The Holy Qur'an:
"The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, pay Zakat and obey Allah and His Messenger. - Holy Qur'an 9:71"
The Qur'an is clear about who your Zakat should help. Surah At-Tawbah (9:60) names eight groups. These include the poor, the needy, those in debt, travellers who are stranded, and people whose hearts need care. So your Zakat always reaches the people who need it most.
At Zobia Trust, we follow these rules with great care. Your Zakat is never mixed with other funds by mistake. Instead, it is given only to those who truly qualify. That means every pound you give is used the right way, exactly as Islam guides us.
The rate of Zakat is 2.5%. This means you give two and a half percent of the wealth you have kept for one full lunar year. It applies to savings, cash, gold, and silver. However, you only pay if your wealth reaches a set level, called nisab.
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth you must own before Zakat is due. It is based on the value of gold or silver. Because prices change, the figure updates each year.
Zakat becomes due once you have owned wealth above the nisab for one full lunar year. Many people choose a date they can remember, so they never miss it. For example, some pay each Ramadan, because the reward for giving in this blessed month is greater.
You do not have to wait, though. You can pay your Zakat online at any time of the year. As soon as it is due, giving quickly is best. That way, families in need receive your help sooner, and your duty is fulfilled with a clear heart.
Your Zakat does real, lasting good. It reaches children and families who face hardship, illness, and poverty every day. For many of them, your gift is the difference between struggle and safety. Because of you, a family can eat, a child can learn, and hope can grow again. We direct Zakat into life-changing support including specialised special needs education and daily therapy. Our mission is to protect dignity and open doors so children can rebuild their lives.
Behind every donation is a real person. A mother worried about feeding her children. A child who dreams of going to school. A family who lost everything and needs a fresh start. Your Zakat meets them in their hardest moment and answers with mercy. That is the power of giving. Your contribution brings relief and dignity to those who need it most.
We know that trust matters deeply when it comes to your Zakat. That is why we follow a 100% donation policy. This means every pound of your Zakat reaches those in need. Our accounts are also audited every year, so you can give with full peace of mind.
We handle your Zakat with honesty and care, following Islamic rules at every step.
Paying your Zakat online is quick and simple. First, work out how much you owe. Next, choose whether you would like to give once or set up a monthly gift. Then enter your amount, complete the secure checkout, and your Zakat is done.
