Sadaqah Jariyah

Sadaqah Jariyah is continuous charity — a gift that keeps giving long after it is made. A water well drawn from for twenty years, a classroom that teaches generation after generation, a fruit tree that feeds a neighbourhood. For as long as people benefit, the reward continues to be written for the one who gave.

The Blessing of Giving Sadaqah Jariyah

“When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.” (Sahih Muslim)

In Palestine, where infrastructure has been damaged and communities have lost the services they depended on, ongoing charity is transformative. A single well can serve hundreds of families every day. A rebuilt classroom can educate children for decades. Sadaqah Jariyah is how one act of giving becomes a permanent part of a community’s life.

Can you give Sadaqah Jariyah on behalf of someone else?

Yes, and it is one of the most beloved ways to honour a loved one:
  • On behalf of parents, living or deceased
  • In memory of a spouse, child or friend who has passed away
  • As a gift marking a birth, a wedding or a graduation
  • On behalf of the whole family, so the reward is shared

Frequently Asked Questions
