Zakat is the Third Pillar of Islam.

Not optional. Not just for the wealthy. Obligatory for every Muslim whose savings have been above the nisab threshold for a full lunar year.

In the UK in 2026, using the silver standard — that threshold is roughly £416.

If you’re above it: 2.5% of your net zakatable wealth is due.

Cash. Savings. Gold. Investments. Subtract your debts. Multiply by 2.5%. That’s what you owe.

Most Muslims who miss Zakat on savings don’t miss it deliberately. They just weren’t taught the calculation.

Now you are. 🤲

Always consult a qualified Islamic scholar for your specific situation. Nisab values fluctuate — check current rates before calculating. #zakat #financialfreedom #islamicfinance #shariah #fyp
