    Zakah is one of the Pillars of Islam and an islamic obligation that must be performed once a year.

    Zakah is not an option it is a compulsory act for all Muslims. It is an act in which one pays 2.5% of their annual savings to those in need. It is a religious duty which washes away impurities from our provision and ensures excess wealth is distributed amongst those in need.
