Vers: 4

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَٰعِلُونَ

4. Who pay the poor-rate⁴,

4. Muslims are obligated to pay 2.5% of the total value of their wealth less any liabilities in Zakat provided they reach the nisab. The nisab is the minimum amount that a Muslim must have before being obliged to pay zakat. The Nisab was set by the Prophet Muhammad at a rate equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 609 grams of silver or its equivalent in money. Zakat is taken from the rich and given to the poor. Whoever cares for the poor lends to Allah, who will pay back the sum in full. Giving to the poor, is another way someone can express their faith and is a way in which they can put “love for your brother as you love for yourself ” into action. Eligible Muslims pay Zakat once a year, and it is due as soon as one lunar (Islamic) year passed.
