Eid is tomorrow. Here is what to do with your money today.
Most people treat Eid as the end of Ramadan. Smart investors treat it as the start of their financial year.
Here are 3 things worth doing in the next 24 hours.
1. CONFIRM YOUR ZAKAT IS DONE
If you calculated and paid your Zakat this Ramadan, great. If not, tonight is the time. A reasonable estimate paid with sincere intention is valid. Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the done.
Quick calculation: add up cash + savings + investment portfolio value. If it exceeds roughly $550 USD (silver nisab, March 2026 prices), 2.5% is due.
2. SET YOUR ZAKAT ANNIVERSARY DATE FOR NEXT YEAR
Most people recalculate each Ramadan which is fine, but the technically correct approach is your personal anniversary date. If you do not have one, set it today. Write it in your calendar for one year from now.
This one small act eliminates the annual scramble forever.
3. MAKE ONE INVESTING DECISION
Ramadan tends to be spiritually productive but financially quiet. Now that it is ending, make one concrete move:
- No halal account yet? Open one this week (Wahed, Saturna, or a self-directed account with SPUS or HLAL)
- Already investing? Top up with whatever you can
- Received Eid gifts or have idle savings? Put a portion to work instead of spending it all
One decision. Not a full plan. Just one move.
Eid Mubarak to everyone here. May your wealth be blessed and your giving multiplied.
