Soleil des orphelins (SDO) collects Zakat Almal to provide for the daily needs of orphaned children in need.
Zakât Al Maal is the obligatory alms that every Muslim gives annually according to the rules of solidarity established by Islam.
Indeed, every year, every Muslim who possesses the value of the Nissâb(*) during a lunar year must pay 2.5% of the total value of their assets (or 2.579% if calculated based on the Gregorian calendar).
1-Identify your assets. Start calculating your assets or what you own. The first step is to calculate the zakat you will have to pay. You must exclude assets that you use in your everyday life.
2-Identify your debts. Credit card debts, student loans, and other types of credit are deducted from your personal assets. You must deduct these debts from your assets before calculating zakat.
3-Determine the net value of zakat. Subtract your debts from your assets when calculating your assets.
4-Compare the nisab with the net value of zakat. If your net value is higher than the nisab, you must pay zakat. If it is lower, you do not have to pay it this year.
5-Give a percentage of your net zakat value. If you exceed the nisab threshold, give a minimum of 2.5% of your net value. Give more than 2.5% if you can afford it.
6- Give to a recognised charity such as Soleil des Orphelins to support orphans in need.
The Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth you must possess before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is based on the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Since silver has a lower value, many use it so that more people can give Zakat.
Nisab is not just a number. It is a spiritual threshold. Crossing it means it’s time to purify your wealth and support those in need.
If you don’t know which value to use or when to pay, choose a fixed date each year. Many prefer Ramadan, but consistency is what matters most.
For example, approximately at a given date:
La zakat n’est pas une taxe. C’est un acte spirituel pour venir en aide aux personnes dans le besoin.
Zakat is not a tax. It is a spiritual act to help those in need.
Chaque année lunaire, tout musulman doit s’acquitter de 2,5% du montant total de ses biens (fortune) du moment que leur montant est resté supérieur au Nissâb.(*).
Each lunar year, every Muslim must pay 2.5% of their total wealth provided it remains above the Nisab threshold.(*).
Le Nissâb est la fortune minimale (le seuil ou la limite) au-delà de laquelle l’acquittement de la Zakât est obligatoire.
The Nisab is the minimum wealth threshold beyond which paying Zakat becomes obligatory.
Deux façons de calculer le Nissab : la valeur des biens équivalant au taux du marché de 87,5g d’or ou de 612g d’argent.
Two ways to calculate the Nisab: the market value of 87.5g of gold or 612g of silver.
