According to wikipedia, it's 2.5%. Which you can give to non-muslims in the hope that they'll convert. And it only applies to cash, gold, silver and other commerical items. If you've got any camels, a different rate applies.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Anyway, if you're not, there's good news on the Zakat front; according to Wikipedia, which is never wrong, those entitled to receive Zakat include "new Muslims or those close to becoming Muslim. Even non-muslims could be included." So you need to get down the nearest mosque and collect your winnings

Nigeria had eid today! Saudi friday..well I suppose technically it is the new moon, even if you can't see it. Considering that Hajj is in Saudi and on a specific day, how do these countries resolve the day difference?
Zakat is only compulsory for muslims.as the above poster stated. Don't fret over it.
Say, George Bush did a iftar dinner at the white house, did Gordon Brown do anything similar?McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
