Sadaqah Jariyah: How One Good Act Can Continue Forever 

What if your generosity today became someone’s hope tomorrow—and for years to come? 

Sadaqah Jariyah allows believers to give in a way that never truly ends.  

Rooted in Islamic teachings and deeply cherished in our tradition, it turns compassion into a lasting source of reward. 

At The Zahra Trust, Sadaqah Jariyah is about building futures, not just meeting needs. 

What Does Sadaqah Jariyah Mean?

Sadaqah Jariyah is a form of charity that keeps benefiting others over time.  

As long as people continue to benefit, the giver continues to earn reward—by Allah’s (swt) mercy. 

Allah (swt) says: 

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed which grows seven ears; in every ear is a hundred grains.” 

Surah Baqarah, Verse 261

This is a promise of multiplied reward for sincere giving. 

Examples that Make a Difference

Sadaqah Jariyah can include: 

• Clean water access 
• Educational programs 
• Healthcare facilities 
• Orphan care 
• Community development projects 

The Zahra Trust ensures these initiatives are ethical, sustainable, and impactful. 

A Reflection of Our Ethics

Inspired by the legacy of Imam Ali (as), giving is an act of resistance against injustice and hardship.  

Sadaqah Jariyah embodies this by creating long-term relief and empowerment.
