Zakat

The obligatory annual charity — 2.5% of qualifying wealth. 100% of your Zakat reaches eligible recipients in Lohajuri.

All donations
What it is

The third pillar of Islam: 2.5% of savings, gold, and qualifying assets held for one lunar year, due to those in need.

Who it's for

Every Muslim whose wealth exceeds the nisab threshold. Use any online Zakat calculator, then give here with full confidence.

How we deliver it

Zakat funds are kept separate and distributed only to the eight categories named in the Qur'an — orphans, widows, and the poor of Lohajuri first.

إِنَّمَا ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَآءِ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ وَٱلْعَـٰمِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا
"Zakat is only for the poor, the needy, those who administer it…"
Surah At-Tawbah · 9:60
