Sadaqah
Back
Sadaqah is a selfless charitable deed carried out out of friendship, kindness, generosity, compassion, or faith. Anyone in need can receive it, including friends, family, the underprivileged, the homeless, and others. It is not constrained by rules. The only purpose of sadaqah is to please God. If at all possible, it ought to be administered discreetly and from a halal source.
Difference between Sadaqah and Sadaqah Jariyah
Back
While sadaqah is transient, sadaqah jariyah is permanent. For instance, giving a family in need dinner may help them feel full for the evening, but digging a water well will give the community access to clean drinking water for five to ten years.
“ The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, ‘When a person dies, his deeds
come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuous charity), or
knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him ”.

Benefits of giving Sadaqah
Back
* Sadaqah is thought to have such a high reward that it can carry on long after a person has passed away, as long as others continue to benefit from the deed.
* Sadaqah offers defense against misfortunes and safeguarding on the Day of Judgment.
* Giving Sadaqah to the impoverished and in need allows one to meet their needs and ultimately contributes to the establishment of social equality.
* Sadaqah is also considered a means of fending off illness and bad luck.
* Sadaqah encompasses various good deeds and is therefore mandatory for all believers to carry out. It is not limited to any specific individual.
“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed of grain which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies His reward for whom He wills”.
Quran Surat Al- Baqra (Verse 261)

Orphans are waiting for your help
Back
For children, the loss of one or both parents, being cut off from friends and family, and not having access to resources can have disastrous effects.
Your daily contribution of $1.5 will positively impact a child’s life and enable them to achieve their aspirations of living a secure, well-nourished, and respectable life.
Water is life
Back
Almost 800 children under the age of five die from diarrhea every day, which is linked to inadequate access to clean water and sanitation. Approximately 2.1 billion people worldwide do not have access to safe water at home.
Thousands of children from families who are at risk of death can have their lives saved by contributing to Sadaqa Jaariyah Water projects.
A community of about 3,000 people is served by the Deep Water Well, and up to 200 people can be served for five to ten years by the Shallow Water Pump.
Food Security
Back
In nations hit by war, natural disasters, or droughts, six out of ten people experience food shortages.
For one month, your $75 donation will provide food supplies to those in need throughout Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Breaking the cycle of poverty
Back
The Muslim Welfare Organization works to end the cycle of hunger and poverty by assisting low-income families in becoming economically independent.
A kitchen gardening toolkit or a pair of goats or sheep that you donate will improve the lives of families in Asia and Africa who are at risk.
