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,”
