Why we give

Three ways to give. One promise from Allah.

Pillar of Islam

Zakat al-Mal

وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ

“Establish prayer, and pay alms-tax. Whatever good you send forth for yourselves, you will ˹certainly˺ find ˹its reward˺ with Allah.”

Qur’an 2:110

“Islam is built on five: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, establishing prayer, giving Zakah, performing Hajj to the (Sacred) House, and fasting Ramadān.”Ibn ʿUmar · Bukhārī & Muslim · Sahih Muslim 16

2.5% of savings you have held for a full lunar year, once they reach the nisab.

كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنۢبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِى كُلِّ سُنۢبُلَةٍ مِّا۟ئَةُ حَبَّةٍ

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah is that of a grain that sprouts into seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains.”

Qur’an 2:261

“Charity does not diminish wealth, and Allah does not increase a servant, on account of his forgiveness, except in honor…”Abu Hurayrah · Sahih Muslim 2588

The Eid gift

Zakat al-Fitr

فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَكَاةَ الفِطْرِ

“The Messenger of Allah enjoined Zakat al-Fitr as one Sāʿ of dates or one Sāʿ of barley on the slave and the free person, the male and the female, the young and the old from among the Muslims. He ordered that it be given before the people go out to the prayer.”

Ibn ʿUmar · Sahih al-Bukhārī 1503

Who: every member of the household, young and old.
When: collected during Ramadan only.
Delivered: to families in need before the Eid al-Fitr prayer.

When to give

Collection opens in Ramadan

Zakat al-Fitr is collected in Ramadan and delivered before Eid.

Pay once for every member of your household. AMCC gathers it during Ramadan and makes sure it reaches families in need before the Eid al-Fitr prayer, so no one misses the celebration.
