Sadaqah Jariyah is more than a charity. It is a legacy of love and generosity that continues long even after we are gone, it keeps on benefiting both the receiver and the giver. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
"When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); beneficial knowledge, or a righteous children who prays for him (for the deceased)." Muslim
وعنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : "إذا مات ابن آدم انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث: صدقة جارية ،أو علم ينتفع به، أو ولد صالح يدعو له" ((رواه مسلم

In Islam, the literal translation of Sadaqah is righteousness, derived from the Arabic root sidq (ص د ق), means the truthfulness or sincerity. People often ask: “What is Sadaqah?” Sadqah is voluntary charity given out of compassion, kindness, and faith for the sake of Allah to seek His pleasure. Allah says in the Quran:
“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed which grows seven ears; in every ear there are a hundred grains.”
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:261)
This verse beautifully illustrates that charity — especially sadaqah jariyah — multiplies in benefit and continues to bring goodness.
It is not obligatory like Zakat, yet it holds immense spiritual value. Sadaqah purifies wealth, awakens empathy, and strengthens the bonds of community.
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “Sadaqah Extinguishes Sin as water extinguishes fire.” (Jami' at-Tirmidhi, Hadith 614).
Meanwhile, Sadaqah Jariyah refers to charity that continues to benefit others long after the initial act of giving a continuous flow of reward (thawab) for the giver.
Through your vital donations, Al Mustafa supports families with food, shelter, education, and the opportunity to build a brighter future. This is what Sadaqah Jariyah truly means — continuous charity that never ends.
Zakat is a pillar of Islam: a compulsory obligation for eligible Muslims whose wealth reaches a certain threshold (Nisab). It is calculated, measured, and due once every lunar year. Zakat is a mandatory, fixed annual charitable donation from eligible Muslims, typically 2.5% of savings, serving as a pillar of faith and wealth purification.
Sadaqah: on the other hand, is voluntary. There is no fixed amount, time, or requirement. It can be given at any moment, in many forms, whether small or large, and without obligation.
Sadaqah Jariyah: is a special type of sadaqah that continues to benefit people over time — turning today’s giving into tomorrow’s blessings. It encompasses projects such as building mosques, schools, and wells or planting trees, which provide ongoing benefits.

Sadaqah Jariyah is a beautiful, ongoing charity. Sadaqah Jariyah projects continue to benefit the recipients for a long time, giving continuous, ongoing reward to those who have donated.
Sadaqah Jariyah is not only an act of faith but an act of philanthropy; it is about supporting those less fortunate through continuous charitable contributions (also known as Sadaqah). Though one of the most common forms of Sadaqah is the giving of regular charity donations, Sadaqah Jariyah gifts aren't always monetary. Anything that can have an impact and be beneficial to others is welcome; this can include the giving of religious texts or materials, along with knowledge, skills or time spent fundraising for an altruistic cause.
The purpose of Sadaqah is to make a difference and help those less fortunate than ourselves. We give Sadaqah with the goal of benefiting the poor. In every aspect of Islam, we are taught to support one another and help our less fortunate brothers and sisters through whatever struggles they are experiencing. Sadaqah Jariyah is an extension of this, encouraging us to spread our generosity and become closer to Allah (SWT) in the process.
Zakat is obligatory charity based on Islamic law, while sadaqah is voluntary giving done out of compassion. Both are highly rewarding, but Zakat is required, while sadaqah is optional.
