Empowering Lives Through Zakat

Zakat is more than an obligation — it is a powerful act of compassion, purification, and social justice. Through your Zakat, lives can be transformed, families can regain stability, and vulnerable communities can find hope and dignity.

At IHSAN Foundation, we are committed to ensuring that your Zakat reaches those who need it most. Through our Zakat Programs, we provide direct assistance to struggling families, orphans, widows, refugees, and individuals facing poverty and hardship around the world.

Our Mission

Our mission is to distribute Zakat with integrity, transparency, and compassion — helping vulnerable individuals meet their essential needs while empowering them toward a more stable future.

We work to identify the most deserving recipients and ensure that your contributions provide meaningful relief and long-term impact for families experiencing financial hardship, displacement, hunger, and crisis.

Types of Zakat We Collect

Zakat Al-Mal

Zakat Al-Mal is the annual obligatory charity paid on accumulated wealth and savings that meet the Nisab threshold. Zakat Al-Mal is 2.5% of the qualified amount and is used to support families living in poverty, orphans, widows, refugees, and individuals facing financial hardship.

Zakat Al-Fitr

Zakat Al-Fitr is a charitable donation given before the Eid prayer at the end of Ramadan. The amount of Zakat Al-Fitr is determined based on the inflation rate and cost of staple food items at the time it becomes due, helping ensure that struggling families can enjoy Eid with dignity and access to essential food and support.
