What is Sadaqah Jariyah?
Sadaqah comes from the Arabic root word ‘sidq’, meaning sincerity. It reflects righteous behaviour that flows from a sincere heart and deep faith. In Islam, Sadaqah is a beautiful act of voluntary charity – not limited to wealth, but open to all forms of kindness. Whether it’s feeding the hungry, making du’a, smiling at someone, or giving your time – all of it counts as Sadaqah.
These small, sincere acts hold immense value in the sight of Allah. They’re a way to draw closer to Him, to uplift others, and to bring barakah into your life. Sadaqah is also deeply connected to the Hereafter – Baab As-Sadaqah, the Gate of Charity, is one of the 8 gates of Jannah. Only those who give for the sake of Allah will be invited to enter through it.

Why Sadaqah Jariyah is important?
Sadaqah Jariyah is a powerful form of ongoing charity that continues to benefit others and earn reward, long after the giver has passed away. Whether it’s building a water well, supporting education, planting a tree, or helping establish a mosque, the
Jariyah ripples across generations. In Islam, it is seen as one of
the most rewarding deeds, offering barakah in both this life and the hereafter. (Muslim). Sadaqah Jariyah offers every believer the chance to leave behind a legacy of compassion and hope.
How your Sadaqah Jariyah are used?
Your Sadaqah Jariyah helps build a lasting legacy of hope one that continues to uplift lives long after you’re gone. Islamic Help uses every donation to invest in projects that benefit individuals, families, and entire communities for years to come. From building wells and providing sustainable clean water, to funding a new family home or supporting livelihoods – your ongoing charity
becomes a lifeline. These are the types of projects that break the cycle of poverty and create lasting impact across generations. Sadaqah Jariyah is not just charity. It’s a form of development with deep spiritual reward – echoing the Prophetic tradition of leaving behind a legacy that benefits you in this life and the next.
When to give Sadaqah Jariyah?
Sadaqah Jariyah can be given at any time of the year. Many choose to give in honour of a loved one who has passed, or to bless someone who is unwell – gifting reward in the next life without reducing their own. It’s a beautiful way to extend mercy,
connection, and remembrance. Giving during blessed months like Ramadan and Dhul Hijjah carries even greater reward. Whenever you choose to give, the impact continues – in this world and the next.
Who can give Sadaqah Jariyah?
Unlike Zakat, which has specific conditions, Sadaqah Jariyah is a voluntary act of ongoing charity that anyone can give – no matter their age, background, or means. What matters most is the intention to seek reward and benefit others for the sake of Allah
(SWT). Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
