Zakat is an Arabic word meaning purification, increase, and blessings. In Islam, zakat means to purify your wealth by giving a specific portion of your savings to certain charitable causes. Zakat is levied on many different types of wealth, including money, jewellery, livestock, fruits and grains, and assets held for commerce.

With a cloud of Islamic projects, our mission is to spread and shower guidance from the Noble Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), over the Muslim world and the whole of humanity.

We own islamanswers.com, howtopray.com, hadith.com, duas.com, salah.com, zakat.com, salaam.com, and more. These sites are being actively developed by our in-house team.
