What is Sadaqah Jariyah?

In Arabic, sadaqah (صدقة) means voluntary charity and jariyah (جارية) means flowing or ongoing. Sadaqah Jariyah is therefore a charity that keeps flowing: a single act of giving whose benefit, and whose reward, continues for years.

With the help of your generous Sadaqah Jariyah donations, Al Mustafa Welfare Trust has helped millions of individuals and families in United Kingdom, Pakistan, Palestine, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and Africa.

For Example, our programmes have supported 1.7 million beneficiaries, distributed 980,000 food packs, constructed 162 mosques and built 41 schools. In addition, 9,006 orphans, 18,854 Hafiz children, and 18,452 disabled children have received long-term support, while 278,112 cataract surgeries have been performed. As a result, these donations continue to create lasting benefits for individuals and communities. With your Sadaqah Jariyah, over 1.5 million individuals and families now have access to clean and drinking water.

Help provide people with support they need

Sadaqah Jariyah in the Quran and Hadith

The concept of Sadaqah Jariyah comes directly from the words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him):

"When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him" (Sahih Muslim 1631).

The Quran describes how this giving is multiplied: a single act of charity is "like a seed of grain which grows seven ears; in each ear is a hundred grains" (Qur'an 2:261).

Sponsor a Hafiz Sadaqah Jariyah

Sponsoring a Hafiz as Sadaqah Jariyah is a noble way to support Islamic education. Your donation will help a student to memorize the Holy Quran and become a Hafiz. As an ongoing charity, you and your loved ones will keep earning a continuous reward in the Hereafter for as long as the Hafiz continues to recite the Qur'an. And if the Hafiz goes on to teach others, you will be rewarded for their recitation too, extending the benefits of your sponsorship even further. What a beautiful, lasting Sadaqah Jariyah. Subhan'Allah!

Sadaqah Jariyah Water Well

Water is the most basic necessity for human survival, yet millions of people around the world still have no access to clean water. By giving a Sadaqah Jariyah water well in someone's name, you help us build a sustainable, safe water source for a community in need. Once it is built, the well provides clean drinking water every single day. You, or the loved one it is given for, will continue to receive its blessings for as long as people drink from the well established in their name. Clean water prevents disease, keeps children in school, and saves lives for generations to come.

Olive Tree Sadaqah Jariyah

An olive tree is one of the most enduring gifts you can give, yet millions of families in Palestine and beyond depend on trees like these for their survival. By planting an olive tree in someone's name, you provide a family with food, a lasting source of income, and hope for generations. A single olive tree can live for around 1,000 years, so its benefit continues long after it is planted. You, or the loved one it is given for, will continue to receive its blessings for as long as the tree bears fruit and families are fed from it. Every olive harvested keeps earning you reward, making it a living, growing Sadaqah Jariyah.

Build a Mosque Sadaqah Jariyah

Building a mosque is one of the most treasured ways to honour a deceased loved one, and a charity whose reward never ends. Your donation helps us construct a small mosque where a whole community can gather to pray, seek Islamic knowledge, and strengthen their faith. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise" (Sahih al-Bukhari 450). You, or the loved one it is given for, will continue to receive its blessings for every prayer offered inside, for generations to come.

Sponsor an Orphan Sadaqah Jariyah

Caring for an orphan is one of the most beloved acts in Islam, and a Sadaqah Jariyah whose reward continues for years. By sponsoring an orphan, you provide a vulnerable child with daily meals, healthcare, education and clothing throughout the year, giving them safety, dignity and a brighter future. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "I and the one who cares for an orphan will be together in Paradise like this," and he held his two fingers together (Sahih al-Bukhari 5304). You, or the loved one it is given for, will continue to earn reward for as long as your support shapes that child's life.

Build a School Sadaqah Jariyah

Building a school is a beautiful Sadaqah Jariyah, because it provides beneficial knowledge, one of the three deeds that continue to reward a person after death. By helping build a school, you give children in a deprived community the chance to learn, break the cycle of poverty, and build a better future for themselves and their families. Education is a gift that keeps giving: every child taught within its walls, and everyone they go on to teach, adds to your reward. You, or the loved one it is given for, will continue to receive its blessings for generations, for as long as learning continues there.

Sadaqah Jariyah FAQs

Sadaqah Jariyah is an ongoing charity whose reward continues for as long as people benefit from it, even after the giver has passed away. A water well, a sponsored Hafiz or a planted tree are all examples.

Examples include building a water well, contributing to a mosque or school, sponsoring a Hafiz, planting a tree, and funding medical care such as cataract surgery. Anything that keeps benefiting people over time qualifies.

No. Zakat is an obligatory annual payment of 2.5% of qualifying wealth to specific categories of people, while Sadaqah Jariyah is voluntary, any amount, and can support any good cause.

Some projects are and some are not. A project meeting the Zakat categories, such as providing water to the poor, can be given as Zakat, while a mosque cannot.

Yes. Giving on behalf of a deceased loved one is highly encouraged, and the reward reaches them without reducing your own.

Yes, and many scholars recommend giving it now so you can witness the benefit yourself. It rewards you during your life and continues after you pass away.

Yes. Unlike Zakat, Sadaqah Jariyah can benefit anyone in need, regardless of religion, ethnicity or location.

There is no minimum. Its value lies in the lasting benefit, not the size of the gift, so even a small monthly donation becomes a large ongoing reward over time.

The best Sadaqah Jariyah is one that lasts longest. The Prophet (peace be upon him) named giving water as the best charity of all.
