Understanding Sadaqah Jariyah – Continuous Charity in Islam

Sadaqah Jariyah is a beautiful and important concept in Islam referring to charity that keeps giving and benefiting others over time, beyond the immediate act of giving.

The term “Sadaqah” means voluntary charity, while “Jariyah” means flowing or continuous. Together, they describe a form of charity that provides ongoing benefits to people, earning ongoing rewards for the donor.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“When a person dies, all their deeds end except for three things: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.” (Sahih Muslim)

This hadith highlights the unique value of Sadaqah Jariyah as a means of earning rewards even after one’s death.

How Your Sadaqah Donation Makes a Difference

Your Sadaqah donation through Crisis Aid helps transform lives and uplift vulnerable communities around the world. Whether it’s feeding hungry families, providing clean water, caring for orphaned children, or responding to emergencies, your generosity brings real relief where it’s needed most.

Unlike Zakat, Sadaqah has no fixed rules or amounts. It can be a small, regular gift, a one-time donation during a crisis, or support for long-term needs like education, healthcare, or shelter. Because it is voluntary, Sadaqah invites us to give from the heart—beyond obligation—spreading kindness, mercy, and reward with every act.

At Crisis Aid, your Sadaqah is handled with full transparency and care. We work efficiently to ensure your donation reaches those who need it most, regardless of nationality, background, or faith.

Give with compassion. Give with purpose. Let your Sadaqah be a source of hope, healing, and lasting impact.

“When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.”

(Sahih Muslim 1631)
