What is Sadaqah Jariyah?
Sadaqah Jariyah means a continuous and ongoing charity. It is one of the most rewarding good deeds we can do in our lives as the benefits of giving Sadaqah Jariyah can be reaped now, and we can continue to benefit after we have passed.
Would you like to benefit a loved one after they have left this world? You can easily donate on their behalf, towards a Water Well/Pump or a Masjid. Insha Allah you and your loved ones will reap the rewards of this continuous charity.
The Messenger (ﷺ) was asked, “When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuing charity, beneficial knowledge and a child who prays for them,”

What is the difference between Sadaqah Jariyah and Sadaqah?
Sadaqah Jariyah is long-term and Sadaqah is short-term. For example, feeding an orphan for one day may only satisfy their hunger for that day but sponsoring them would enable them to be healthy throughout their life.
Water projects are a true example of how one act of charity keeps multiplying, bringing more and more benefit and reward. When a community has water, we see families growing food, healthy children able to attend school, clean hospitals treating patients safely.. and the list goes on!
“When a person dies, his deeds come to an end, except for three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him.”
