Thousands of needy families are waiting for your Zakat this Ramadhan.

Your Zakat will alleviate poverty for thousands of needy and vulnerable families across Azad Jammu Kashmir and Pakistan.

A £40 food pack will provide a family of 5 with essentials such as rice, flour, assorted lentils, ghee, and other necessities to feed them for 1 month.

The giving of charity is even more virtuous during Ramadan - a month in which the rewards for deeds are multiplied. The Prophet peace be upon him was the most generous person and even more generous during this month. This is a great time for you to donate your Zakat and get the rewards multiplied!

Please don't forget to add Gift Aid to your donations which will help with KORT's admin costs. This also ensures all funds raised go towards this cause.

May Allah accept your fasts and good deeds this Ramadhan and may Allah bless you all in your health, wealth, and Imaan.

Frequently asked questions.

What is Zakat?

Zakat, meaning to purify, is the third pillar of Islam and is a compulsory charitable payment that goes on to benefit the poor and needy.

Every sane, adult Muslim whose wealth exceeds the current Nisab value must pay Zakat, which is 2.5% of the individuals total wealth.

Nisab is the minimum value of total wealth one must possess in order to pay Zakat. It is defined as the value of 87.5g of pure gold or 613g of silver. Most scholars favour the lower value as it means that more people can pay Zakat and therefore there are more beneficiaries.

The value of 613g of silver as of 6th of March 2023 = £349.

Please refer to your local imams for further questions relating to Zakat.
