Important Hadiths About Sadaqah Jariyah
Sadaqah Jariyah, or ongoing charity, is a deeply rewarding act of kindness in Islam, emphasized through several important hadiths narrated from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
One of the most famous hadiths on Sadaqah Jariyah is:
“When a person dies, all their deeds come to an 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 virtue of Sadaqah Jariyah—it continues to bring rewards to the giver even after death.
Another hadith related to charity encourages consistent giving:
“The best charity is that given in Ramadan.” (Tirmidhi)
While this doesn’t mention Sadaqah Jariyah directly, it emphasizes the value of sustained generosity, especially in blessed times.

How Sadaqah Jariyah Rewards You Continuously
The teachings of the Prophet ﷺ remind us that true charity is not just a one-time act—it’s a lasting legacy. Sadaqah Jariyah is a unique form of giving that continues to benefit others long after the donation is made, with the reward continuing to grow even after we leave this world.
By investing in sustainable projects, your Sadaqah Jariyah can provide clean water to entire communities for years to come, educate future generations through schools and scholarships, support healthcare clinics offering ongoing medical care, maintain mosques as centres of worship and learning, or spread beneficial knowledge through books, resources, and digital media.
Every time someone drinks from a well you helped build, learns in a school you supported, receives treatment in a clinic, or benefits from knowledge you helped share—the reward continues to reach you. This is the beauty and power of Sadaqah Jariyah.
Crisis Aid enables you to contribute to verified Sadaqah Jariyah projects with full transparency and accountability. With each donation, you can be confident that your gift is creating real, lasting impact—and earning you ongoing reward in the sight of Allah.
Give with intention. Give for the future. Let your Sadaqah Jariyah be a legacy of mercy, knowledge, and hope.
