ZAKAH

“Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and increase them…” — Qur’an 9:103

→ What Is Zakāh?

Zakāh is one of the Five Pillars of Islam — a sacred act of worship that cleanses the heart from greed, purifies wealth, and uplifts struggling families, students, and communities.

Zakāh is not just a donation.

It is a right of the poor, and a duty upon the wealthy.

→ Upon Whom Is Zakāh Fard (Obligatory)?

Zakāh becomes obligatory on a Muslim who meets the following conditions:

Muslim
Adult and of sound mind
Possesses the Nisāb (minimum amount of wealth)
Wealth has remained in ownership for one full lunar year
Wealth is productive or growing (cash, savings, business, gold, etc.)

If these conditions are fulfilled, Zakāh is fard.

→ When Does Zakāh Become Fard?

Zakāh becomes obligatory when:

A person’s wealth reaches the Nisāb threshold
A full lunar year passes while still above the Nisāb
At the end of that year, Zakāh must be paid immediately and without delay.

→ Who Can Receive Zakāh? (According to Qur’an 9:60)

Zakāh can only be given to the categories Allah Himself has mentioned:

The Poor (Fuqarā’)
The Needy (Masākīn)
Those in debt
New Muslims / Reverts who need support
Students or individuals in the path of Allah
Travelers in difficulty
Those whose hearts need strengthening
Zakāh administrators
Zakāh cannot be used for buildings or construction — it must go directly to eligible people.

→ Why Siraatul Jannah Center Collects Zakāh

At Siraatul Jannah Center, we carry a deep responsibility:

We believe no child should be deprived of Islamic education because of money.

This is why we humbly collect Zakāh:

To support students who cannot afford tuition fees
To give children access to Qur’an, Arabic, Islamic Studies
To help families struggling with financial hardship
To make Islamic education available to everyone, regardless of income

Every dollar of Zakāh goes to eligible students and families.

→ How We Use Your Zakāh

Your Zakāh is used strictly and only according to Islamic principles:

Student Tuition Support

We cover Qur’an classes, Hifz, Islamic studies, and weekend school tuition for ONLY Zakāh-eligible children.

Financial Assistance for Needy Families

Helping families keep their children connected to Deen.

Direct Human Benefit — Not Construction

Zakāh is never used for buildings or facilities.

It is strictly given to people, as Shari’ah requires.

→ Why Should You Give Your Zakāh to Siraatul Jannah Center?

Because your Zakāh becomes a chain of sadaqah that continues in the hearts of children.

Your Zakāh creates memorization of Qur’an

A child learns Surahs because of you.

Every letter they recite becomes a reward for you.

Your Zakāh keeps a child connected to their Deen

A struggling family keeps their child in the Masjid because of your contribution.

Your Zakāh protects a generation

You help raise youth who know Allah, love the Qur’an, and walk with Islamic values in this society.

Your Zakāh is used with trust, transparency, and proper Islamic verification

We carefully verify every case to ensure the student is Zakāh-eligible according to Islam.

→ The Impact of Your Zakāh

When you give Zakāh through Siraatul Jannah Center, you are not just giving money.

You are:

Opening a door of knowledge
Saving a heart
Protecting a future
Planting seeds of faith
Becoming a reason someone recites Qur’an for the rest of their life
Becoming a partner in Hifz, Salah, and Iman
Supporting a child who says “Alhamdulillah” because of your kindness

This is the reward that continues even after you leave this world.

Your Zakāh today may be the reason a child tomorrow becomes a Hafiz, an Imam, a teacher, or a righteous Muslim.

Imagine meeting Allah on the Day of Judgment and seeing mountains of rewards simply because you helped one child learn the Qur’an.

This is your chance to build a legacy.
