In Islam, there are many acts which can lead to immeasurable reward – both today and in our Hereafter; these acts are commonly referred to as sadaqah jariyah.

Sadaqah jariyah is an act of giving in a way that keeps on giving. For example, if you were to invest in school construction, that school would then go on to provide access to educational needs to those need most as long as it stands – meaning you shall receive an ongoing reward for as long as it stands, too. Sadaqah jariyah differs from Sadaqah in this way, due to the ongoing reward.

There are many different types of sadaqah jariyah one can contribute towards and we have prioritized below five kinds to explore. Hopefully, you will be inspired by these ideas and engage in ongoing charity for the people of today and the future.

We frequently keep saying that children of today are the future of tomorrow, however, it seems that today’s children are living with anxieties overshadowed their future and are exposed to contines displacement from wars, climate change effects, all kinds of harrassments, separation from their parents and of course child labouring. in order to provide a secure future, we must work together to ensure every child’s right to an education is fulfilled. All children are entitled to an education and should be granted the opportunity to acquire the life skills they need to prosper.
