Online Zakat Course
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam, and calculating it correctly matters — get it wrong, and you either fall short of what you owe or give away more than you need to. Our Online Zakat Course is a free, 4-week program that teaches you exactly how to calculate your Zakat, step by step, with a qualified teacher.
Learn How to Calculate Zakat Correctly
Most people know Zakat is 2.5% of their wealth, but far fewer know how to actually apply that — this course walks you through the real process, not just the headline number.
What You’ll Learn in the Zakat Course
Over 4 weekly classes, the Online Zakat Course covers:
Understanding Nisab — the minimum wealth threshold and how it’s determined, tied to gold and silver value rather than a fixed number.
Zakat on Gold and Silver — valuing gold and silver you own, including jewellery, against the current Nisab.
Zakat on Cash and Savings — how cash in hand, bank balances, and savings are treated, and combined correctly with other assets.
Zakat on Investments — how stocks, mutual funds, and business or investment plots are treated for Zakat, brought into the same calculation as gold, silver, and cash.
Who Is Eligible to Receive Zakat? — the categories of people Zakat can be given to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this course really free?
Yes — the Online Zakat Course is completely free, with one live class per week over 4 weeks.
Do I need any prior knowledge to join?
No — the course is built for anyone who wants to properly understand how Zakat is calculated, whether you’re calculating it for the first time or double-checking what you’ve been doing.
How is Zakat calculated?
As a simple rule, Zakat is 2.5% of your zakatable wealth once it’s above the Nisab threshold — but correctly identifying what counts as zakatable wealth, and which Nisab applies, is exactly what this course walks you through.
Who can receive Zakat?
Zakat has specific categories of eligible recipients under Islamic law — covered directly in the course, and briefly summarized in the “Who Is Eligible to Receive Zakat?” section above.
Does the course cover investments and business assets, or just gold, silver, and cash?
All of them — the course covers Zakat on gold, silver, cash (in hand and in bank), and investments (stocks, mutual funds, and business/investment plots), the same four categories used in our Zakat Calculator.
Is there a calculator I can use alongside this course?
Yes — our Zakat Calculator uses the same method taught in this course, so once you’ve learned how the calculation works, you can apply it directly.
