A Complete Guide to Zakat – Birmingham

Delivered by Dr Shahrul Hussain

LIMITED SPACE

This is a 2 day intensive course that starts on Saturday 2nd March 2024 and ends on Sunday 3rd March 2024 (1:30PM – 4PM both days).

“And establish prayer and give Zakat, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves – you will find it with Allah.” (2:110, Qur’an)

Zakat is one of the fundamental pillars in Islam and almost always mentioned together with salah in the Qur’an. Therefore, much like learning how to pray is compulsory for you, so too is learning the rules of zakat.

The warning for not paying zakat is candid and clear, both in the Qur’an and Hadith, for the person heedless of this duty. Therefore, there should be no excuse for a person not to learn the rules of zakat.

This course is unique, because it takes the learner on a journey to educate them about the rules of zakat in an easy step by step manner. It simplifies the complicated rules of zakat into easy bite-size and digestible forms. One of the uniqueness of the course is that it is a comparative study of all the four Schools of jurisprudence. This approach will provide a better and more comprehensive understanding of the rules of zakat. Another unique feature of this course is the discussion of zakat in regard to contemporary issues such as zakat on cryptocurrencies, stocks and shares, businesses and the like.

There are three levels to this course, each gradually building your knowledge set about zakat.
