Nagad Islamic has included a number of features for Muslim customers, including a zakat calculator and a range of Islamic lifestyle services on its app and website.

Using the Nagad Islamic platform, customers will be able to calculate their own zakat, get access to all the daily prayer services, including free audio recitation of the holy Quran, without any hassles, a press release said.

"For the last three years 'Nagad Islamic' has been receiving an overwhelming response from users, and we hope to continue expanding the service with new features in the future," said Rahel Ahmed, chief executive officer of Nagad.

To calculate the amount of zakat, customers must first select the Zakat Calculator option on the Nagad Islamic website and then be required to enter the value of their assets for the whole year, including yearly income, investment, gold, and loans.

The following step will generate the precise amount of zakat automatically by clicking on the 'calculate' button at the bottom of the calculator.
