Zakat guidance
made simple for the ummah.
Free, scholar-reviewed Zakat calculator for 2026. Calculate your obligation in seconds, then give with confidence — 100% reaches those in need. No admin fees. No commissions. Just Zakat, as Allah intended.
Where your Zakat goes
Every donation is immediately deployed to fund life-saving medical procedures for those who cannot afford them. Two causes. Both Zakat-eligible. Both life-changing.
Restore sight to the blind
Cataracts are the leading cause of preventable blindness in Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia. For £40 — a single surgical procedure under local anaesthetic — a patient's sight is permanently restored in under 20 minutes. Scholar-endorsed as valid Zakat.
Fund treatment for the poor
Cancer treatment remains out of reach for most families in rural Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia. Your Zakat donation funds the chemotherapy sessions, specialist consultations, and medication that give patients a genuine chance at recovery.
All causes are reviewed by Islamic scholars and verified as Zakat-eligible. See all causes →
Estimate your Zakat in 60 seconds
Enter your cash savings and the current market value of any gold or silver you hold. The calculator applies the 2.5% Zakat rate and shows your obligation instantly.
Our full calculator also covers gold by weight (grams, tola, bori), silver, stocks, business assets, pension savings, and crypto — updated for the current Nisab threshold.
Open the full calculator →Every penny reaches those in need
World Aid Network operates a strict 100% donation policy. When you give Zakat through us, the full amount — every single penny — goes directly to the poor and the sick. Our administrative costs are covered entirely by Gift Aid receipts and specific administrative donations from supporters who understand the importance of operational funding.
This is not a marketing promise. It is a written policy, verified by our Islamic scholars and published openly for accountability. Zakat funds are never mixed with general funds.
Read the full policy →"To date I have performed over 5,000 cataract surgeries, thousands of eyelid surgeries and over 500 eye muscle surgeries across NHS and private practice. Working with partner hospitals in Karachi and Islamabad, I have seen first-hand how access to skilled ophthalmic care transforms lives in communities where sight loss is still entirely preventable."
Three countries. Millions in need.
Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia are home to some of the world's largest Muslim populations and significant unmet medical need. Our partnerships with local hospitals and clinics ensure Zakat reaches the right people efficiently and with full accountability.
