Zakat Essentials

“And hasten unto forgiveness from your Lord, and for a garden whose breadth is the heavens and earth—prepared for the reverent, who give charity in ease and hardship, and curb their rage, and pardon others—and God loves the virtuous.”

Qur’an 3:133-134

Zakat Essentials with Zaytuna College Faculty

According to many scholars, institutions such as Zaytuna College meet the requirements for zakat eligibility. However, we have chosen to limit the zakat funds only to the total cost of education for zakat eligible students and not for any other institutional expenditures. We take this sacred trust very seriously, so if you choose to give a portion of your zakat to Zaytuna College, we will do our utmost, God willing, to ensure its most judicious and shariah compliant use.
