Zakat Guides

This is your complete Zakat knowledge base. Use these guides to understand nisab, hawl (one lunar year), which assets are zakatable, and how to calculate confidently. Each guide is written to be practical, detailed, and internally linked so you can learn step by step without missing categories.

Start with Nisab, then Hawl, then the asset guides. When you are ready, use the calculator and return to the relevant guide sections for clarity on edge cases.

Best start

Nisab first

Nisab is the minimum threshold. Once you understand it, the rest becomes easier and consistent year to year.

Next

Hawl and Zakat date

Hawl is the time rule. Choose one Zakat date, calculate on that date, and keep simple records for next year.

Then

Asset guides

Use the asset guides to ensure you include everything relevant: cash, gold, investments, crypto, and more.
