Some context on why this exists.
I'm not a business owner — I'm a Muslim
student who gives zakat. I kept noticing
that no finance tool was built with us in
mind. QuickBooks has an interest field in
the default invoice template. Wave has
never heard of nisab.
The real problem was timing. Zakat runs on
a lunar year, bookkeeping runs on a
calendar year. So when hawl completes
you're reconstructing twelve months of
records to find a number the software
already knew every day.
My approach flipped while building. I
started with an invoicing tool that had
zakat as a feature and ended with the
opposite — the calculation at the centre,
the bookkeeping feeding it. I also ran a
Shariah audit partway through and deleted
features I'd already built.
