			Now in terms of paper currency money, how should Zakah be calculated? As far as people can see is
concerned, it is interchangeable with gold and silver, we should try and find out the value of your
paper currency. And that keeps on changing,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:46
			we can either evaluate what is the amount of currency that will reach the nisab level, either with
the nisab of the goal that identify grams of gold or the nisab of the silver that is 595 grams of
silver. So, we should try and find out what would be the cost of 85 grams of gold in your country in
your currency or 595 grams of silver in your country
		
00:00:47 --> 00:01:31
			in your currency, not the difference of opinion that was should be taken nisab Should we take the
nisab of the gold or the silver some of the focus say that take the lower limit. So, that a person
gives the card even though the nisab is low, some of the forecasts say that take the nisab which is
higher so, that that gives advantage to the poor person and did not pay till it teaches the high
level of the new sub what are the forecasts say that since silver was used as a way of trading in
the olden days, we should take the nisab of the silver and try and find out what is their currency
as far as 595 grams of silver is concerned, but this option is left but if you really want to be
		
00:01:32 --> 00:02:20
			more sure, then you can take the lower level of nisab and normally silver, the rate of silver
nowadays 595 grams of silver is much less than 85 grams of gold, we should see what is the current
value the boys are calculating the Zakat to be paid at one particular date, whether it be the first
day of Ramadan whatever it is, you have to find out what is the value of finance grams of silver or
85 grams of gold at that time. Now, at present in India, the value of one gram of gold is
approximately 900 rupees that will be approximate 20 to $23 for one gram of gold, this rate of
silver and gold will change in each country, what is the value in India will change what's in Dubai
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:36
			may change in America may change in UK and the country those keep on fluctuating in India today
approximately for one gram of gold is approximately 900 rupees that comes to 20 to $23 that means 85
grams of gold the nisab level would be
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:43
			76,500 rupees approximately in dollars, it would be somewhere close to $90 million.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:25
			If you want to take the sub level of silver, then one kg of silver approximately cost in India
18,000 rupees that's equal to $450. So, 595 grams of silver would cost approximately 10,710 rupees
and then dollar that will be about 260 $8 approximately, but then it will change and Dubai will
change and UK will change in USA. So, wherever you're living, you can take any financial magazine
economic magazine and try and find out the rate and you can calculate yourself and if it reaches
that level, then you should give the cards above that also two and a half percent on whatever
savings you have. Whatever surplus you have, you have to give that means the cost that you
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:31
			know so there are many Zakah calculators available on online free as well as on their servers.
