Zakat is a means of purifying one's wealth to ensure the needs of the poor are taken care of.

Who deserves to receive your zakat? Zakat can be paid to the following who fall into one or more of eight zakatable categories designated by God in the Quran (9:60)

• The poor

• The needy

• Collectors of Zakat (i.e. Future Builders Foundation)

• Those whose hearts are to be reconciled (i.e. new Muslims and friends of the Muslim community)

• Those in bondage (i.e. slaves and captives)

• The debt-ridden

• In the cause of God

• The wayfarer, meaning those who are stranded or traveling with few resources.

All zakat given to Future Builders Foundation will be utilized to support orphans by providing them with essential needs such as food, shelter, healthcare, education, and technical skills to ensure a better future.
