Tuesday 15 Ramadan 1442 AH and 27 April 2021 CE

Reminder Day 15

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah. As-Salaam Alaikum WA-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu.

Praise be to Allaah; we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (ﷺ) is His slave and Messenger.

Help us Answer the Ummah! Every second, everywhere someone needs an answer. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “A person who leads others to doing what is good will earn the same reward as those who do it.” (Muslim, 1893).

“Do not lose hope, nor be sad. You will surely be victorious if you are true in Faith.” And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it].” [Holy Quran Chapter Al Imran Ayah 139]

“If Allah should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? And upon Allah let the believers rely.”

[Holy Quran Chapter Imran Ayah 160]

Preamble

What is the benefit of sadaqah?

Sadaqa Brings Balance to the Society and Benefits the Community. Giving Sadaqah to the orphans, widows, sick and needy ensures we live in a much fairer society by sharing the wealth. Sadaqah does not only mean giving money but it can be any act of kindness. The Prophet said: “Your smile for your brother is a charity.

What are examples of sadaqah Jariyah?

Examples of sadaqah jariyah are building homes, schools, hospitals, orphanages, water wells, and converting areas of land into farms that produce crop.

Can a Muslim contribute to building something in life – e.g. a bridge – and receive reward as in sadaqa jariya, after they die, for every time a car etc. passes over? Answered by Faraz Rabbani:

The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said,

“When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him.” [Muslim, Tirmidhi, and others]

This relates to anything good that is benefited from after a person’s lifetime.

The degree of the reward is according to the degree and ultimate significance of the benefit derived from their act of good or charity, and the intention behind it (i.e. to what degree was it for the sake of Allah).

And Allah alone gives success. End quote.

What is the best form of sadaqah Jariyah?

We learn two important things from this hadith; the first is that we are encouraged to give Sadaqah Jariyah on behalf of a deceased loved one, the second is that the best form of Sadaqah Jariyah we can give is water. Water is one of the most important substances on Earth.

Sadaqatul jariyah is ongoing charity (continuous rewards) received by us (for good actions and deeds), that will not only benefit us in this life, but will continue to benefit us after our death.

Abu Huraira (RadhiAllahu ‘anhu) reported: Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying: When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for the deceased). [Sahih Muslim – Book 13 – Hadith 4005]

Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala says: “… and spend something (in charity) out of the provision which we have bestowed you, before death should come to any of you and he should say, o my Rabb! Why do you not give me respite for a little while? I should then have given (largely) in charity, and I should have been one of the doers of good.” (Qur’an, 63:10)

Below given are some good actions and deeds that which will outlive you Insha Allah.

1. Donate and/or actively participate in building of a Mosque.

2. Building or donating to build an Orphanage.

3. Raising, full or part sponsoring an orphan. (Orphan Sponsorship)

4. Teach someone to recite Quran, and everytime they recite quran, you will get hasanat, even after your death. And if your student teaches quran to another person, and every time this other person read Qur’an, you still will get hasanat from his recitation, even after you have long died until the end of this world.

5. Give copies of the Holy Quran and each time they read from it, you will receive Hasanat.

6. Donating to build a school. When the students use the knowledge they receive from the school, you get hasanat, even after you have died.

7. Give away Islamic reading materials.

8. Teach someone to recite Dua and/or Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) and each time it is recited, you will gain Hasanat.

9. Share via online or give Dua or Quran CDs and every time it is recited you will gain Hasanat.

10. Donate wheel chair to Hospital and when sick persons use it you will gain Hasanat.

11. Building or donating to build a Dispensary, Hospital

12. Help a child to continue his or her Education.

13. Donate to dig and build water wells or construct water tanks and when people use this well or tank you will receive Hasanat. (Help build water wells or construct water tanks )

14. Plant trees or donate for this cause, each time people or animals sits under the shade or eats from these trees, we will gain hasanat, even after you have died.

15. Place a water cooler in a public place. Each time people drink water from it, you will gain hasanat.

Abu Huraira (Radhiallahu anhu) reported: Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: He who called (people) to righteousness, there would be reward (assured) for him like the rewards of those who adhered to it, without their rewards being diminished in any respect. [Sahih Muslim – Book #034 – Hadith #6470]

“The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allah gives manifold increase to whom He pleases. And Allah is All-Sufficient, All-Knower.” [Al-Baqarah 2:261]

“When a person dies, all their deeds end, except three: Sadaqa Jariya (a continuing charity), beneficial knowledge and a child who prays for them.” (hadith of the Prophet peace be upon him)

Sadaqah Jariyah is a special charitable act which continues to benefit us even when we have passed from this world. By constructing a water pump you will be providing clean safe water to people in need for years to come, inshaAllah.

What is Sadaqah/Sadaqah Jariyah (Sadaqa Jariya)?

Ramadan & Charity in Islam

Sadaqah Jariyah is the act of ongoing voluntary charity and is one of the best ways to help those in need around the world. It is one of the most rewarding acts we can do in our lifetime as the benefits of giving this charity can be realised in this lifetime and long after we have passed on.

‘Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and spend (in charity) out of the (sustenance) whereof Allah swt has made you inheritors. For, those of you who believe and spend (in charity), for them is a great Reward.’ (Qur’an 57:7)

 

 

Sadaqah Jariyah - In Islam, there are many forms of charity, including Zakat and Sadaqah. Conducting both forms of charity is encouraged; however, there are significant differences between them.

Zakat is an obligatory act of charity that forms one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Sadaqah, on the other hand, is entirely voluntary and brings a range of benefits to both the recipient and the donor.

Sadaqah (Sadaqa) is broken down into two categories:

Sadaqah (Sadaqa)

Sadaqah describes a voluntary charitable act towards another being, whether through generosity, love, compassion or faith. These acts are not always physical or monetary; simple things like a good deed, a helping hand, a smile, guiding others towards the right path and preventing evil are all seen as acts of Sadaqah.

These acts are carried out with Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala in mind.

Sadaqah Jariyah (Sadaqa Jariya)

Sadaqah Jariyah (Sadaqa Jariya) describes charitable acts that are both voluntary and ongoing, to benefits others for today and for the future, too. These acts hold more rewards for the recipients, and, as such, can benefit the donor with increased rewards.

The Benefits of Sadaqah (Sadaqa) in Islam

In Islam, there are many Sadaqah Jariyah (Sadaqa Jariya) ahadith that describe the benefits of these acts. It is believed by many that the reward for these acts is so great that is can continue long after an individual has passed, so long as the benefits of the act continue to be felt by others.

In fact, many choose to perform acts of Sadaqah Jariyah (Sadaqa Jariya) on behalf of their ill or deceased loved ones in order for the ongoing rewards to benefit the deceased in their Hereafter.
