The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), knowledge that benefits others, or a righteous child who prays for them.” (Narrated by Muslim)
The Concept of Sadaqah Jariyah in Islam
Sadaqah Jariyah is a form of charity whose benefits continue even after the donor’s death. Unlike regular charity, Sadaqah Jariyah provides long-term benefits, allowing the donor to receive continuous rewards. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized this concept in the hadith:
“When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that benefits others, or a righteous child who prays for them.”
In Islam, giving is considered one of the greatest acts a Muslim can undertake, and Sadaqah Jariyah is a form of sustainable giving.
Whether through building mosques, supporting education, or providing essential resources, the rewards of Sadaqah Jariyah are multiplied over time. It is not just about providing material support but about leaving a lasting, positive impact on others’ lives.
Types of Sadaqah Jariyah
There are several categories under which Sadaqah Jariyah falls, encompassing various areas in which Muslims can contribute for continuous reward, including:
- Religious infrastructure: Such as building mosques.
- Healthcare: Such as building hospitals and supporting continuous medical services.
- Education and knowledge: Such as printing religious books or establishing schools.
- Environment and sustainability: Such as planting trees and preserving the environment.
- Essential resources: Such as digging wells and providing water in underserved areas.
- Charitable campaigns for youth empowerment: Such as supporting initiatives aimed at empowering youth in underserved areas through education and vocational training.
Examples of Sadaqah Jariyah
Sadaqah Jariyah can take many forms that offer long-term benefits to people. Here are a few practical examples:
- Building hospitals or supporting healthcare services: Patients benefit from these services for years, ensuring continuous reward for donors.
- Establishing vocational training centers: These centers help young people acquire the skills necessary to enter the job market and improve their lives.
- Supporting online educational programs: Funding online learning platforms allows knowledge to reach multiple generations, providing sustainable rewards.
- The Drop by Drop Campaign: This campaign, launched by Masarat Initiative, supports orphans and children with special needs in Syria by providing education and psychological support. It is a clear example of Sadaqah Jariyah, as its impact continues to improve children’s lives over the long term.
The Importance of the Drop by Drop Campaign
The Drop by Drop campaign aims to address the educational crisis faced by children affected by the war in Syria. Currently, around 2.4 million school-aged children in northern Syria are out of school, and 1.6 million more are at risk of dropping out.
