About ZakatInfo

The idea came from a simple frustration: every decent Zakat calculator we could find either required an account, stored your financial data on a server, was buried under ads, or was so out of date that the Nisab figures were wrong by years.

Zakat is a private act of worship. You should not have to tell a company how much gold you own to find out your obligation. Everything on ZakatInfo runs in your browser — nothing you enter is ever sent to us or stored anywhere outside your own device.

We also wanted tools that respected what people actually struggle with. Not everyone knows what "zakatable assets" means off the top of their head. Not everyone is sure whether their rental income counts or whether their pension is included. We try to answer those questions plainly, with references to the scholarly positions behind each answer, so you can make an informed decision.

What We Cover and Why

We started with the Zakat calculator and expanded deliberately rather than rapidly. Each tool we add is something we genuinely believe fills a gap:

• The Prayer Times page calculates using the same algorithms as major Islamic organisations — not by scraping a third-party API that might go down.
• The Hijri Calendar page explains the structure of the Islamic lunar calendar so people can understand why dates shift rather than just looking up a number.
• The 99 Names of Allah page includes the Arabic, transliteration, and a meaningful reflection on each name — not a raw list designed to rank on Google.
• The Ramadan timetable gives you Sehri and Iftar times for any city, calculated correctly, without requiring location tracking.

Our Approach to Islamic Guidance

We are not scholars. We do not issue fatwas. Where scholars disagree — on jewellery, pension funds, cryptocurrency — we present the main positions clearly and recommend that you consult a qualified scholar for your specific situation. We believe the worst thing a tool like this can do is give people false confidence that they have received religious guidance when they have only received a financial calculation.

We cite our sources where we can. We flag disagreements where they exist. And we keep a disclaimer on every page reminding you that this is guidance, not a ruling.

Privacy — What We Collect

Nothing you enter into any calculator is transmitted to us. Your figures stay in your browser tab and are gone when you close it. We do not use analytics that track individual users. We may show contextual ads, but we do not sell your data or build profiles based on what you calculate. Our Privacy Policy sets this out in full.

Accuracy and Updates

We update Nisab thresholds regularly. Gold and silver rates are approximate — we note this prominently — because live market prices require an API and APIs go down. We always recommend verifying the price on your actual Zakat date against a reliable current source.

If you spot an error in our content, a broken calculation, or a scholarly position we have described inaccurately, we genuinely want to know. Good intention does not excuse inaccuracy in matters of religious practice.
