How to Choose the Right Islamic Calculator
For financial obligations, the Zakat Calculator handles comprehensive asset assessment including cash, gold, silver, investments, and business inventory. The Fitra Calculator specifically addresses Sadaqat al-Fitr — the charitable donation required before Eid al-Fitr prayers.
The Qibla Finder determines the precise direction to pray from your location using great-circle bearing calculations. The Hijri Calendar Converter translates dates between Islamic and Gregorian calendars for planning religious observances.
For prayer scheduling, the Eid and Friday prayer time calculators provide location-based estimates. The Ramadan Day Calculator helps track your position within Ramadan and estimates the Eid date.
Understanding Islamic Financial and Spiritual Obligations
Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, requiring Muslims who meet the Nisab threshold to donate 2.5% of their qualifying wealth annually. The Nisab is traditionally measured as the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver, with the lower value typically used to include more people in the obligation.
Sadaqat al-Fitr (Fitra) is a mandatory charitable donation given before Eid al-Fitr prayers. It is calculated as one Sa' (approximately 2.5-3 kg) of a staple food per person in the household. In monetary terms, this typically ranges from $10-$15 per person, though amounts vary by region and commodity prices.
The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is a purely lunar calendar with 12 months of 29 or 30 days each, totaling approximately 354 days per year. This means Islamic dates shift approximately 11 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar each year. Our converter uses the Tabular Islamic Calendar algorithm, which may differ from observational dates by 1-2 days.
Important: These calculators provide mathematical estimates based on established formulas. For definitive religious guidance on Zakat amounts, fasting requirements, and prayer times, always consult a qualified Islamic scholar or your local mosque.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Nisab threshold for Zakat?
The Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth above which Zakat becomes obligatory. It is traditionally set as the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Most scholars recommend using the silver Nisab (lower value) to ensure more people fulfill this obligation.
How accurate is the Hijri calendar converter?
Our converter uses the Tabular Islamic Calendar algorithm, an arithmetic approximation that may differ from the actual observed calendar by 1-2 days. The official Islamic calendar in most countries depends on moon sighting, so always confirm important dates with local religious authorities.
How is the Qibla direction calculated?
The Qibla is calculated using the great-circle bearing formula from your coordinates to the Kaaba in Makkah (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E). This provides the shortest path direction over Earth's surface, which is the mathematically correct Qibla direction.
Which prayer time calculation method should I use?
Use ISNA for North America, Muslim World League for Europe, Egyptian General Authority for Africa and Middle East, and University of Islamic Sciences Karachi for South Asia. The methods differ in the sun angle used for Fajr and Isha calculations.
When should Fitra be paid?
Sadaqat al-Fitr should be paid before the Eid al-Fitr prayer. Many scholars recommend paying it a few days before Eid so that the recipients can use it for their Eid celebrations. It is obligatory for every Muslim who has food exceeding their needs.
