Ramadan is a month full of blessings and opportunities to increase good deeds. One form of worship that is highly recommended during this holy month is sharing with others through zakat and donations. Zakat is not only an obligation for Muslims who can afford it, but it also plays a role in helping those in need. In addition, donation is a means for anyone who wants to contribute in easing the burden of others.

Types of Zakat

As one of the pillars of Islam, zakat has several types that need to be understood, including:

Pay Zakat Easily Online

Nowadays, paying zakat and donations is easier to do online, one of which is through banking applications such as the M2U ID App. You can fulfil your zakat obligations and donate anytime, anywhere, just in the palm of your hand.

M2U ID App makes it easy for customers to pay zakat and donate online via Virtual Account. With this method, transactions can be done anytime and anywhere without having to come directly to zakat institutions or places of worship. Here are the steps:
