Imagine giving a meal to a hungry person. The warmth of the food fills their stomach, and for a moment, their worries fade. That’s Sadaqah—a beautiful, one-time act of charity that provides immediate relief.
Now, imagine building a water well in a remote village. Every single day, families draw clean water from it. Children drink, mothers cook, and communities thrive—for years to come. That’s Sadaqah Jaariyah—a charity that continues to benefit people long after it’s given, even after you’ve left this world.
Both forms of charity are powerful, but one creates a legacy of blessings that never stops giving.
The Difference Between Sadaqah and Sadaqah Jaariyah
Sadaqah: The Immediate Relief
People always ask what the difference is between Sadaqah, and Sadaqah Jaariya. Sadaqah is any charitable act given for the sake of Allah, bringing instant help to those in need. This includes:
✅ Feeding the hungry
✅ Giving money to someone struggling
✅ Donating clothes to the poor
✅ Helping an orphan with school supplies
✅ Supporting a family in crisis
These acts bring immense reward and ease the suffering of others. But their impact is short-lived—the food gets eaten, the clothes wear out, and the money is spent.
Sadaqah Jaariyah: The Eternal Charity
Sadaqah Jaariyah, on the other hand, keeps giving long after you are gone. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
“When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuing charity (Sadaqah Jaariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.” (Sahih Muslim)
Some powerful examples of Sadaqah Jaariyah include:
💧 Building a Water Well – Every sip of water taken counts as a reward.
📖 Sponsoring Islamic Education – Each student’s learning earns you endless blessings.
🕌 Constructing a Masjid – Every prayer performed adds to your scales of good deeds.
🏥 Funding Medical Clinics – Each patient treated benefits from your charity.
These actions create a legacy of mercy—long after you’ve left this world, your charity keeps working for you.
Real-Life Impact: The Power of Sadaqah Jaariyah
Case Study 1: A Water Well in Rural Kashmir
Last year, a generous donor helped Kashmir Welfare Foundation build a community water well in a drought-affected area of Azad Kashmir. Before this, families had to walk miles for clean drinking water. Today, over 250 people benefit daily from this well.
Every sip of water, every wudu (ablution), every meal cooked—this donor earns rewards for it all, even though they may never meet the people they helped. This is the power of Sadaqah Jaariyah.
Case Study 2: Educating an Orphan
In 2022, a group of donors came together to sponsor the education of orphaned children in Kashmir. Today, these children are not only learning, but some have gone on to become teachers themselves. Every letter they read, every dua they recite, every lesson they teach brings ongoing rewards to those who supported them.
This is how Sadaqah Jaariyah multiplies beyond imagination.
