What Is Sadaqah Jariyah?

Sadaqah Jariyah means continuous or ongoing charity. It refers to an act of charity that continues providing benefit after the original donation has been made. 


The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that when a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three, including ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge and a righteous child who prays for them. This is recorded in Sahih Muslim 1631. 

This is what makes Sadaqah Jariyah so meaningful. A water well or water hand pump can continue serving families, a Masjid can remain a place of worship, and knowledge can continue shaping lives for years to come.

Give Today for a Benefit That Can Continue

When you give sadaqah jariyah, you are choosing to support something intended to create lasting benefit. 

Your donation could help install a water well or water hand pump, contribute towards a Masjid, support a child's education, help someone regain their sight or give a struggling individual the means to earn a living. 

Make your donation today and create a lasting legacy of kindness.

Sadaqah Jariyah Projects You Can Support With AWF

Al-Wahab Foundation delivers projects that address genuine needs while creating longer-term benefits for individuals, families and communities. When you donate to sadaqah jariyah, you can choose from a range of meaningful AWF projects.

Water Wells and Water Hand Pumps

For families living in areas where reliable water sources are limited, a water well or water hand pump can transform everyday life. AWF installs hand pumps in Pakistan and water wells in Pakistan and Uganda, helping families and communities access water closer to where they live. Your sadaqah jariyah donation can support these Water for Life projects, creating a source of benefit that can continue serving people long after installation. 

Support a water well or water hand pump and help provide a benefit that can continue every day.

Build a Masjid

A Masjid can remain at the heart of a community for generations, providing a place for Prayer, Quran recitation, Islamic learning and community life. 

Through AWF's Build a Masjid project, your donation can help provide or restore a place of worship for communities that do not have suitable facilities. Every prayer, lesson and act of worship carried out there can contribute to the continuing benefit created by your support. 

Help provide a place of worship that can serve generations to come.

Support a Maktab

Beneficial knowledge can stay with a child for life and may be shared with others in the years ahead. AWF's Maktab programme supports children from disadvantaged families with Islamic and general education. 

By supporting a Maktab, your generosity can help children gain knowledge, confidence and opportunities that continue beyond the classroom. 

Support education and help knowledge continue into the future.

Support Eye Surgeries

Loss of sight can affect a person's independence, ability to work and capacity to care for their family. Through AWF's Eye Care Project, your support can help fund treatment and cataract surgery for people who may otherwise be unable to afford the care they need. 

This support can create lasting change by helping someone regain independence, return to work or education, and improve their quality of life. 

Help restore sight and give someone the opportunity for a more independent future.

Create Sustainable Livelihoods

Supporting someone with the means to earn can create change that extends far beyond one donation. AWF's Rozgar Project provides practical livelihood opportunities, including rickshaws, motorbikes and support for small businesses, enabling vulnerable individuals to work and support their families. 

A sustainable income can help a household move towards greater stability and dignity without depending entirely on continued financial assistance. 

Support a livelihood and help a family work towards a more secure future.

Why Choose Sadaqah Jariyah?

A sadaqah jariyah charity allows your generosity to create benefits beyond the moment you give. 

Families may continue accessing water from a well or hand pump. Worshippers may continue praying in a Masjid. A child may carry beneficial knowledge throughout life. Restored eyesight may enable someone to work again, while livelihood support can help a family build greater independence. 

It is an opportunity to make your charity part of something that continues.

Give Sadaqah Jariyah on Behalf of Someone You Love

Sadaqah Jariyah can also be given on behalf of another person, including someone who has passed away. 

A man once asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) whether he could give charity on behalf of his deceased mother, and the Prophet replied: “Yes! Give in charity on her behalf.” 
(Sahih al-Bukhari 2760).

Giving ongoing charity in memory of a parent, relative or loved one can create something beneficial for others while you make dua for the reward to reach them.

Whether you give for yourself or someone close to your heart, a sadaqah jariyah donation can turn that intention into practical support that continues benefiting people over time.

Who Can Give Sadaqah Jariyah?

Sadaqah Jariyah is voluntary, so anyone can give according to their means. You do not need to wait for Ramadan, Friday or another particular occasion. 

You can give sadaqah jariyah for yourself or on behalf of someone else. What matters is your sincere intention to help others for the sake of Allah (SWT).
