Donate Sadaqah

R120 can provide safe drinking water to 3 families
R225 can feed 5 families for one month
R310 can provide a family with a lifesaving emergency kit
R6,400 can help equip a treatment centre for one month with medicines and supplies
A number of sayings of the Prophet, peace be upon him, emphasise the benefits of giving sadaqah, including that “sadaqah extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire”, as well as the duty of every Muslim to give whatever he or she can: “sadaqah is due on every joint of a person, every day the sun rises.”
An important concept within that of sadaqah (charity), is the idea of sadaqah jaariyah – an ‘ongoing charity’. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said that “when a man dies, his deeds come to an end except three: an ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge and a child who prays for him”. Therefore, many Muslims are eager to give charity which will continue to have benefit to people after their death, and continue to earn them reward.
Any charity which continues to have positive effects on a community in the long-term, beyond immediate relief, can be considered a sadaqah jaariyah: building homes, schools and hospitals; installing durable water systems; turning an area of land into a farm which continues to give crops for years to come; helping a poor family start a business which continues generating profit for future generations… Essentially, sadaqah jaariyah is what today’s international development sector calls ‘sustainable development’, promoted by Islam over 1400 years ago, and encompasses the majority of the sustainable development programmes carried out by both Islamic and other NGOs today.
