Zakat ul-Fitr
Zakat-ul-Fitr (also called Fitrana or Sadaqa-ul-Fitr) is a compulsory act of charity that all Muslims must pay at the end of Ramadan. The purpose of this payment is to act as a purification of the fasting from useless and obscene talk and allow those in poverty to take part in Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations.
Zakat-ul-Fitr amount this year is $15 per person.

Insha Allah, the Muslim Youth Center of Philadelphia will be open to for the Sunnah of Itikāf in the last 10 days of Ramadan. Signup is required and this is only for ages 18 and up Only!
