Sadaqah, a voluntary form of charity in Islam, can be given in many different ways. Sadaqah can take the form of a monetary donation, a kind word, all the way to acts of continuous charity, also known as Sadaqah Jariyah. Not to be mistaken with Zakat, which is obligatory charity, Sadaqah refers specifically to voluntary acts of charity.
Sadaqah is the term used to describe a voluntary act of charity in Islam. It is one of the most common types of charity Muslims give. Sadaqah encompasses anything from an act of kindness to a monetary charity donation and Sadaqah Jariyah refers to ongoing charity that is beneficial. Sadaqah Jariyah can be given at any time of year, in any amount.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasised the benefits of giving Sadaqah in a number of sayings: "Sadaqah extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire." (Tirmidhi)
Therefore, any act of kindness or support extended to other beings (including animals) for the sake of Allah (SWT), can be considered an act of Sadaqah or charity.
Examples of Sadaqah include donating clean water to vulnerable people in need, extending a smile or even removing a harmful object from the path. Aqiqah is also an example of Sadaqah.
Sadaqah is an act of charity in the short-term, while Sadaqah Jariyah is for the long-term. For instance, cooking dinner for someone will allow them to eat for one day, however, building a water well will allow communities to drink water for years to come, providing ongoing reward.
It couldn't be easier to donate sadaqah and earn continuous reward. You can choose from several options, including providing water aid, food packs, medical aid or sponsoring an orphan in need. Donating sadaqah is your chance to earn ongoing reward; for as long as your donation is of benefit to people, you will continue to be rewarded In Shaa Allah (God willing).
With millions of people undergoing hardships around the world, in areas such as Gaza, Sudan and many more, your Sadqah can provide life-saving aid.
