Khums
Khums
Fulfil your obligation. Purify your wealth. Trust in transparency.
Understanding Khums — An Obligation and an Act of Worship Khums literally means "one-fifth" — 20% of specific forms of acquired wealth that a Muslim is obligated to pay as an Islamic tax. Allah ﷻ commands it clearly in the Qur'an: "And know that whatever you obtain of war spoils — then indeed, for Allah is one fifth of it and for the Messenger and for his near relatives and the orphans, the needy, and the [stranded] traveller." — Surah Al-Anfal (8:41) While this verse was revealed in the context of war gains, Islamic jurisprudence has expanded its application to various forms of income and surplus wealth, as determined by qualified scholars. Khums is not merely a financial transaction. It is a means of spiritual purification, social responsibility, and a reminder that our wealth ultimately belongs to Allah ﷻ. At Al Sajjadha Trust, Khums contributions are collected and distributed strictly in accordance with Islamic principles — supporting religious obligations, community welfare, and individuals in genuine need.
