Help young learners discover the importance and secrets of zakah, understand nisab, and practise calculating zakah with this engaging lesson.
Zakah is far more than a financial obligation, it is a purification of the heart, a declaration of love for Allah above all else, and one of the pillars of Islam. This engaging lesson about zakah guiding young learners into the deeper secrets and practical workings of this important act of worship.
The lesson opens with a powerful story from Islamic history: the brave decision of Abu Bakr after the passing of our beloved Prophet ﷺ. When some Arab tribes refused to pay zakah, arguing it was no longer obligatory, Abu Bakr stood firm with remarkable conviction declaring that he would fight anyone who made a distinction between salah and zakah, for zakah is the right of wealth. Through this young learners come to understand just how seriously the Sahabah took this pillar of Islam.
The lesson then explores the deeper secrets of zakah: how it cleanses both wealth and heart, purifying the soul from greed and arrogance, and reminding the believer that all wealth is a trust from Allah. Think of a fruit that looks fresh and perfect on the outside. But inside, a tiny worm is slowly eating it. You cannot see the damage at first, but the fruit is getting spoiled. Learners are also introduced to the concept of nisab and guided through the straightforward calculation of zakah at 2.5%, using relatable, real-life scenarios.
