Zakat Calculator
Easy Zakat Calculation in MS Excel
Home
Dear Brothers & Sisters,
ZAKAT is one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam, mandatory on all muslims who are of eligible wealth. Zakat is due from and payable by a person on his wealth (and not his income), which has remained with him/her for one Islamic year.
It is difficult to calculate the completion of one year on each item of wealth, because purchase dates may vary. To overcome this difficulty, a practical method is to fix a date (e.g. 1st of Ramadhan), compute your total wealth on that date and calculate Zakat, thereon.
The attached spreadsheet is a humble attempt at making the calculation process simple and consolidated, for all brothers and sisters who are fortunate to be worthy of paying Zakat. If there are any errors, its purely due to my incomprehension and may be brought to my notice immediately by email at ajameel@gmail.com. Please remember me in your supplications and may Allah give us all the rewards of both worlds. Aameen.
A lot of brothers have asked me what Madhab do I belong and whether this covers Shias, Barelvis, Deobandis, Jaffris, Bohras and other sects. All I can say here is that let us rise above all these covert little shells we have built around us. We are Muslims first and if one is sincere, he will rise above all this sectarianism, read the Quran, follow the Sunnah and get the facts firsthand. The practical life of our Prophet SAS is there to be followed and practiced. And pray to Allah that he shows us and keeps us on the right path. Aaameen.
Yours Brother in Islam,
Arif Jameel.
