Bring the teachings of zakat into the realities of everyday life.
Zakat is more than a financial obligation. It is a ritual of sacrifice that reminds us that we ourselves, and everything we have, are gifts and trusts from Allah. Through giving from what we have been blessed with, we’re trained to loosen our attachment to wealth, cultivate gratitude, and recognise our responsibility towards others. For many of us, however, the practical questions can feel less clear. What wealth is Zakatable? When does Zakat become due? How do we calculate what we owe? And who can receive it? Drawing on reliable sources of the Hanafi legal tradition, this session brings the teachings of zakat into the realities of everyday life. Together, we will explore: - The place and importance of Zakat within Islam - Who is required to give zakat and who it can be given to - Which forms of wealth are included - How to calculate zakat in practical, everyday situations Guide to Giving is an invitation to transform our relationship with wealth—to receive it as a trust from Allah, spend it with gratitude, and place it in service of His creation.

Throughout the classes, one aspect that has always been prevalent is the concept of following the Muhammadan ﷺ way, as well as maintaining the centricity of the Prophet ﷺ in our hearts and minds. These courses are something every Muslim should strive for, especially in the modern world.
