The Power of Sadaqa Jariya in Ramadan

11 March 2025

Defining Sadaqa Jariya and Its Reward

In Islam, Sadaqa Jariya refers to a form of charity that continues to benefit people long after it is given, earning ongoing rewards for the giver even after their passing. This concept is deeply embedded in Islamic teachings and is a powerful way to leave a lasting impact.

Imam Jaffar Al-Sadiq (AS) beautifully stated:

“Prayers, Fasting, Hajj, Sadaqa, good deeds, and Du‘ā’ reach the dead in his grave, and their reward is written for [both] the doer and the deceased.”

[Wasāi’l al-Shī‘a ilā Tahsīli Masā’il al-Sharī‘a, v. 8, pg. 279]

This hadith highlights how our good deeds and charity not only benefit us in this life but continue to reward us in the Hereafter. The month of Ramadan, a time of heightened spirituality and generosity, offers a unique opportunity to maximise our deeds. It is a period when every act of charity is multiplied in reward, making it the perfect time to give Sadaqa Jariya. By giving in Ramadan, we can extend our blessings far beyond the present moment, ensuring that our charity continues to uplift lives for years to come.

Al-Ayn’s Transformative Sadaqa Jariya Projects in Iraq

This Ramadan, Al-Ayn is committed to making a real difference in the lives of orphaned children and their families through several essential projects. These initiatives provide multidimensional support, ensuring that thousands of vulnerable children receive not only financial aid, but also the necessary resources for a dignified and secure future. Here are some of the key projects you can support during this blessed month:

Luminous Stars Centres: These centres are dedicated to nurturing the intellectual and emotional well-being of orphaned children by providing them with quality education, psychological support, and life skills training. By empowering them with knowledge and confidence, we pave the way for them to live with dignity and to have secure futures.

Shajarat Tuba: This complex is set to open in Karbala and focuses on providing holistic care to thousands of orphaned children, ensuring they have access to essential needs, including financial aid, education, healthcare, and emotional support. It offers a stable environment where children can grow into self-sufficient individuals.

Medical Clinics: Health is a fundamental right, yet many orphaned children lack access to proper medical care. By supporting our medical clinics, you can contribute to life-saving treatments and preventive healthcare, ensuring that thousands of orphaned children under our care can be given the support they need to remain healthy.

Housing Complexes: A safe and comfortable home is crucial for a child’s development. Many orphaned children and their families struggle with inadequate living conditions. Our housing complexes provide secure, well-equipped homes where children can grow up feeling safe, nurtured, and part of a supportive community.

Real Stories, Real Impact

The impact of these projects is best understood through the voices of the children who have benefitted from them. One child under our care, now living in a housing complex built by our teams in Iraq shared:

“Before moving to this housing complex, we lived in a small, uncomfortable room. Now, we feel safe, have our own home, and the school is nearby too. I’ve also made friends to play with here. My favourite subject is maths, and I dream of becoming a maths teacher when I grow up.”

This story reflects how acts of charity can completely transform lives. By providing essential support, you are not just offering material assistance but are giving these children the chance to dream, aspire, and build a better future.
