Understanding Sadaqah Jariyah – Continuous Charity in Islam

Sadaqah Jariyah embodies the spirit of lasting generosity—charity that keeps giving, benefiting others long after the initial gift. In Islam, while Sadaqah means voluntary charity, Jariyah means continuous or flowing, highlighting the enduring nature of this form of giving.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us the profound value of Sadaqah Jariyah when he 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 reminds us that acts like building wells, supporting schools, or planting trees provide continuous benefits—bringing ongoing blessings to the donor, even after they have passed. Sadaqah Jariyah is a powerful way to leave a legacy of compassion and faith that endures across generations.
