Sadaqah Jariyah: 7 Ideas for Continuous Reward
Sadaqah Jariyah — ongoing charity — is one of the most beloved forms of giving in Islam. Its reward continues to flow to you even after death, for as long as people benefit from what you gave. Here are seven powerful ways to give Sadaqah Jariyah.
What Is Sadaqah Jariyah?
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that when a person dies, their deeds end except for three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge, and a righteous child who prays for them (Sahih Muslim). Sadaqah Jariyah is therefore any act of charity whose benefit — and reward — continues over time.
