Zakat Nisab
Zakat acts as a means of purifying one’s soul and wealth. It is one of the five pillars of Islam and obligatory on every adult Muslim who meets the Nisab threshold. The Nisab value is the minimum amount of net capital one must own to be eligible to pay Zakat.

What is the Meaning of Zakat?
Zakat is an obligatory form of charity in Islam, considered one of the Five Pillars of the faith. It is a means of wealth purification, requiring Muslims who meet a certain financial threshold (nisab) to donate a portion—typically 2.5%—of their accumulated wealth to those in need. The purpose of zakat is to support the less fortunate, including the poor, orphans, and those in debt, while fostering social equality and reducing economic disparity. Beyond its financial aspect, zakat serves as a spiritual practice that encourages generosity, gratitude, and a sense of responsibility towards the community.
It is essential to know the Zakat nisab value, when to pay, and who is eligible to receive it. To make this easier, Deaf Reach has created a simple guide on how to calculate Zakat—covering the correct percentage of wealth to be given and whether any Zakat tax applies in Pakistan.
