On the eve of Ramadan, Muslims prepare to fulfill the religious obligation of Zakat with many are looking for trusted channels to support vulnerable communities, including those in Palestine.
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and obligatory on those whose wealth reaches the Nisab.
It is worth mentioning that the Nisab is commonly calculated based on the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver.
Eligible Muslims are required to give 2.5 percent of their qualifying savings and assets to those in need.
