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.

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