1 Marla in Pakistan = 272.25 square feet (standard used in Punjab). Therefore: 5 Marla = 1,361.25 square feet. Note: 1 Kanal = 20 Marla = 5,445 square feet; 1 Kanal = 4 Bigha (approximately). Karachi uses a different land measurement system — 1 Square Yard = 9 square feet is common there. Always confirm which measurement standard applies in your city.
The Gold Nisab for Zakat is 7.5 tola of gold (approximately 87.48 grams). The Silver Nisab is 52.5 tola of silver (approximately 612.36 grams). At current gold prices in Pakistan (~PKR 28,000–30,000/gram), the Gold Nisab is approximately PKR 2.5–2.6 million. Most Pakistani scholars recommend using the Silver Nisab (currently PKR 91,200) as it results in a wider Zakat obligation. Use our Zakat Calculator to automatically apply the correct Nisab.
1 Acre = 8 Kanal = 160 Marla in Pakistan. In square feet: 1 Acre = 43,560 square feet. This conversion is commonly used in Punjab for agricultural land records. In Sindh, land may be measured in Acres or Bighas depending on the region. Our Unit Converter handles all common Pakistani area unit conversions instantly.
1 Seer = 0.9331 kilograms (approximately 933 grams). In the traditional Pakistani gold market, gold is sometimes quoted per Tola: 1 Tola = 11.664 grams. So 1 Seer of gold = approximately 80 Tolas. For Zakat purposes, gold weight is measured in tolas: Silver Nisab = 52.5 tola; Gold Nisab = 7.5 tola.

1 Marla in Pakistan = 272.25 square feet (or approximately 25.29 square metres). However, note that the Marla size varies slightly by region: the standard Marla used in most of Punjab and KPK is 272.25 sq ft, but older land records in some areas use a slightly different measurement. Always confirm with the local land revenue records (Patwari) for official measurements.
1 Kanal = 20 Marlas. And 8 Kanals = 1 Acre. So: 1 Acre = 8 Kanals = 160 Marlas = 43,560 square feet. These are the standard Pakistani property measurement units used in Punjab and KPK. Sindh typically uses square yards for urban property. Use our Unit Converter to quickly convert between all these units.
