Paying Zakat is not the end of the record-keeping: next year's calculation needs to know what was paid, when, to whom, and against which year's obligation — especially when payment is split across months or organisations. This template is the payment-side companion to the calculation worksheets, and it matters most for people who pay in instalments or give through more than one channel.

Someone paying a 4,000 obligation as two transfers and one cash gift would log three rows: date, recipient, amount, currency, whether the payment was designated as Zakat when given, and the receipt reference. The designation column exists because a general donation label does not by itself establish Zakat eligibility — recording what you actually specified at payment time preserves the fact that matters.

The template does not verify a recipient's eligibility or an organisation's registration — the payment verification checklist in the preparation guide covers what to confirm before transferring, and this template records what happened after. It is a personal record, not a receipt, tax document, or proof of eligibility.

Like every resource here it is a one-way download. It pairs with the annual checklist (which asks whether last year's payments were completed) and the preparation guide's payment verification section.
