Zakat Harta 2008 - Updated

As per a recent comment from a reader in my previous post, as promised I'd upload the updated Zakat Harta Calculation.. I just got this from the Ministry of Religious affairs. As you can see it was last updated Aug 08. He said the value changes daily which we can get from the news. Noted! Thanks for letting us know.

Also to make things easier for everyone, Zakat Harta is not that difficult to calculate.

Just do this... Zakat Harta = Value of Harta ($) during that year * 2.5%

To read up more on what you can and cannot zakat.. Here are some useful websites..

It can be a bit confusing really.. but asal niat kitani baik...and if we pay extra.. we can always niat if ada labih to pay for our hutang zakat harta of previous years. Wallahuwaklam.

When I paid my Zakat I asked if our TAP should be included as Zakat, after many years of asking - this year they said TAP tidak di wajibkan bayar as it is not considered as milik sempurna. I do hope they will be a clear fatwa or write up or something on this. If there is do let me know. Would be good to have a clear black and white.

Anyways, to those who have not done any Zakat Harta this would be a good time to start. You will not miss a dime for Allah is Most Fair and Most Just and I do believe that if you pay your Zakat Harta, Allah the Almighty will pay you more so much more than what you paid in Zakat. I have only started paying mine a couple of years back when I started to understand more about it and no years have passed since that I did not get it all back and so much more... For Allah is Most Fair and He does not go back on what He has promised.

Inda rugi duit if you pay Zakat. I'd do right away if you want to have more in life. This is part of our spiritual financial planning in life.

Selamat Berpuasa everyone...
