Fulfil Your Sacred Obligation
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam — a purification of wealth and a means of support for the less fortunate. Silver Nisab is the most accessible and widely accepted threshold.
Real-Time Precious Metal Prices
Fetched live from global markets and converted to Australian Dollars. Nisab is calculated on the silver standard — the more accessible and commonly used threshold.
📋 Current Nisab Threshold Silver Standard
If your net zakatable wealth equals or exceeds this amount and has been held for one full lunar year (hawl), Zakat becomes obligatory. This threshold is recalculated live using the current silver spot price in Australian Dollars.
How Zakat Works
Four essential steps every Muslim follows to fulfil this sacred pillar each lunar year.
Gather Your Assets
Calculate the total value of all zakatable wealth: cash, savings, gold, silver, investments, business inventory, trade stock, and money owed to you.
Deduct Liabilities
Subtract short-term debts and obligations due within the year. The remaining net wealth is your zakatable base that will be compared against Nisab.
Check Silver Nisab
Compare your net wealth to the current silver Nisab — 612.3 grams of silver priced in AUD at today's live spot rate. The silver standard is more inclusive and commonly accepted.
Give 2.5%
If your wealth exceeded Nisab for a full lunar year, pay exactly 2.5% of your total net zakatable wealth to the eight eligible recipients specified in the Holy Quran.
The Silver Nisab Standard
Why silver is used as Nisab, and what it means for Australian Muslims in today's economy.
Silver Nisab in Grams
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ set the silver Nisab at 200 dirhams, equivalent to approximately 612.3 grams of pure silver — the most accessible and widely cited threshold among scholars.
Current Nisab in AUD
This value updates with the silver spot price. Using live market rates ensures your Nisab reflects the true contemporary purchasing power in Australian Dollars.
Lunar Days in One Year
Your wealth must remain at or above Nisab for one complete lunar year (hawl — approximately 354 days) before Zakat becomes obligatory on that wealth.
The Fixed Zakat Rate
Precisely 2.5% — an eternal, divinely ordained rate. This fraction of your wealth is distributed to those in need, purifying your remaining wealth and attracting blessings.
Why Silver and Not Gold?
The silver standard results in a lower Nisab threshold, meaning more Muslims qualify to pay Zakat, and more wealth circulates to those in need. Many contemporary scholars and Australian Islamic organisations recommend using the silver Nisab for this reason — it fulfils the spirit of Zakat as a broad obligation of social solidarity.
