In a fast-paced world, we often focus on results we can see right now. But Islam teaches us to also focus on the unseen rewards — those that grow even after we’re gone.
This is the power of Sadaqah Jariyah: ongoing charity.
Sadaqah Jariyah is the kind of charity that keeps benefiting people even after the giver passes away. Imagine a well that quenches thirst for generations, or a Qur’an that is read daily in a school. These are silent rivers of reward.
Here are 6 simple Sadaqah Jariyah projects you can start today:
1. Build or Repair a Borehole
Many communities walk kilometers for water. Funding a well or borehole is one of the best long-lasting acts of kindness.
2. Sponsor Qur’an Memorization
Every verse recited by your sponsored student becomes reward for you. And when they teach others, your reward multiplies!
3. Print and Distribute Islamic Books
A small book explaining Taharah, Salah, or Du’as could educate hundreds of people over the years.
4. Contribute to a Masjid
Whether you help build one or just fund prayer mats or lights, you’re part of the reward of every prayer prayed there.
5. Support a Child’s Islamic Education
Help a child learn deen, Arabic, or Qur’an. Their knowledge becomes your light on the Day of Judgment.
6. Share Useful Islamic Resources Online
A beautiful hadith graphic or YouTube lecture shared on your page can touch thousands. It all counts.
Don’t wait to be wealthy. Start your Sadaqah Jariyah today — even with a little.
