COURSE OVERVIEW
Zakat Explained for Kids, Simply and Clearly
The Zakat and Sadaqah Course for Kids helps your child understand why Muslims give and how. Your child learns that Zakat is the third pillar of Islam and sees how it works through a simple example, [one coin out of every forty], shared with the people the Quran names as deserving it. They then discover Sadaqah, the voluntary charity anyone can give, from a smile and a kind word to removing harm from the road.
True stories from the Sunnah bring these lessons to life, and the course ends with your child’s own giving project at home, including a sadaqah jar and lessons on Zakat al-Fitr and sadaqah jariyah.
- Diagnostic recitation & personal plan in week one

HOW THE COURSE IS STRUCTURED
How the Zakat and Sadaqah Course for Kids Is Structured
The course is organised into four modules that move from understanding Zakat and Sadaqah to giving with your own hands. Every lesson includes a story or hadith, a simple explanation, a question for your child, and a weekly sadaqah challenge.
1
What Is Zakat?
Learn what Zakat is for kids: the third pillar of Islam, and why Allah asks Muslims to share part of their wealth. Understand how it works through a simple example [of one coin out of every forty], and who Zakat helps.
2
What Is Sadaqah?
Discover what Sadaqah is for kids: voluntary charity that anyone can give, at any time and in any amount. Learn the Prophet’s ﷺ teaching that a smile, a kind word, and removing harm from the road are all sadaqah.
3
Stories of Giving
Hear true stories from the Sunnah, such as Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) buying a well for the people of Madinah. Learn from the mother who shared one date between her two daughters, and the man who gave water to a thirsty dog.

My Giving Project
Put giving into action with a sadaqah jar at home and a small sadaqah to do each week. Learn about Zakat al-Fitr in Ramadan, sadaqah jariyah, and how to give with kindness and respect.
WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE
What Your Child Will Achieve From This Course
By the end of the course, your child will be able to explain Zakat and Sadaqah in their own words and start a small giving habit at home.
Explain Zakat in Their Own Words
Your child will explain that Zakat is the third pillar of Islam and a duty Allah placed on those who have enough wealth. They will use the example of one coin out of every forty to show how it works.
They will also learn the basic difference between Zakat and voluntary charity, giving them a strong foundation for understanding Zakat explained for kids.
Tell Zakat and Sadaqah Apart
Your child will explain that Zakat has fixed rules, while Sadaqah can be given by anyone, at any time, in any amount. They will give a simple example of each.
They will learn to recognize everyday opportunities to share, help, and show kindness while understanding the meaning behind these actions.
Find Ways to Give Without Money
Your child will name simple acts of sadaqah they can do every day, like smiling, saying a kind word, or helping at home. They will understand that every child can give, whatever they have.
They will begin to see giving as more than simply handing over money, understanding how thoughtful acts of kindness can make a positive difference in someone else's life.
Retell Stories of Generous Muslims
Your child will retell stories such as Uthman’s well and the mother who shared a single date. They will explain what each story teaches about giving.
This helps turn giving in Islam for kids from a lesson into a value they can recognize and practice in everyday situations.
Give With Kindness and Respect
Your child will learn to give gently, without showing off or making others feel small. They will understand that the best giving is done for the sake of Allah alone.
This clear distinction gives children a stronger foundation for understanding both Zakat for kids and Sadaqah explained for kids.
Start Their Own Giving Habit
Your child will keep a sadaqah jar and complete a small act of sadaqah each week. They will know about Zakat al-Fitr and sadaqah jariyah, and feel the joy of giving for Allah.
The goal is not simply to memorize definitions, but to help children understand why giving matters and how these values can shape their everyday choices.

Common Questions
Zakat & Sadaqah Course for Kids — FAQ
What is Zakat for kids?+
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam: Muslims who have enough wealth share a small part of it every year, about one coin out of every forty, with people in need. Allah names in the Quran who should receive Zakat, such as the poor and the needy, so it reaches the people who need it most.
Sadaqah explained for kids: how is it different from Zakat?+
Sadaqah is voluntary charity that anyone can give, at any time and in any amount, while Zakat is a duty with fixed rules. The Prophet ﷺ taught that even a smile, a kind word, or removing something harmful from the road is sadaqah.
Do children have to pay Zakat?+
Zakat is mainly a duty on adults who have enough wealth, and scholars differ on whether it is due on money that belongs to a child, so parents usually handle it. Children are encouraged to give sadaqah from what they have, which is what this course helps them practise.
How can my child give charity without money?+
Islamic charity for children includes many acts that need no money, like smiling, helping at home, sharing toys, or giving water to a thirsty animal. Our free 30-day sadaqah chart gives your child a simple idea for every day.
What will my child learn in the Zakat & Sadaqah Course for Kids, and what age is it for?+
Your child learns what Zakat and Sadaqah are, true stories of giving from the Sunnah, and how to start their own giving project at home. The course is designed for children aged [X–X], with no previous Islamic study needed.
Can I choose my child’s teacher or reschedule lessons?+
You can request a male or female teacher, or a different teacher at any time, by contacting our support team. You can reschedule a lesson with any time hours’ notice.
