Build a Legacy Through Sadaqah Jariyah
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘When a man dies, his deeds come to an end, except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous almsgiving), or knowledge from which one benefits, or a righteous child who prays for him or her.” (Muslim)
What is Sadaqah Jariyah
Sadaqah Jariyah literally translates from the original Arabic as ‘flowing’ or ‘running’ (jariyah) ‘charity’ (sadaqah), meaning charity that you give in your lifetime that keeps helping people long after you’re gone – and you continue to receive reward for it as long as it benefits others.
It is an ongoing form of giving that ensures people are cared for long after we have gone to the hereafter, providing us with endless rewards for our deeds.

Income Generation Projects
An Income Generation Project (IGP) works by providing people with the resources, and support to start or improve small businesses, helping them build sustainable and independent sources of income. By sponsoring items like fruit carts, sewing machines, rickshaws you help families become self‑reliant and financially stable for years to come. This is a powerful form of Sadaqah Jariyah, because every sale they make, every stitch they sew, and every journey they complete becomes a source of ongoing reward.
Supporting an orphan is one of the most beloved acts of charity in Islam. When you sponsor an orphan, you’re not just providing food, clothing, and education — you’re giving a child stability, dignity, and the chance to build a brighter future. Every step the child takes toward a better life becomes a blessing for you. This long‑lasting impact is what makes orphan sponsorship a powerful form of Sadaqah Jariyah.
