Islam is a religion that teaches you to give and be rewarded in many ways. One of them is sadaqah-jariyah , an act of kindness that returns regardless of the amount that has been received. If you are able to plant seeds to create trees, they could give shade on hot days as well as warmth in winter. This means that your charitable acts don’t stop in an moment but will continue to last forever because their fruit will continue to give nourishment well into our future.
Jariyah means charity in Arabic. There are various types of jiraiyas that one can support and we’ve chosen five examples to show how. We hope these examples will encourage you to spend more money on sadaqah.
Sponsoring an Orphan or Child
There are millions of children in the world who are denied the opportunity to learn and who do not have the fundamentals required for success. It’s sad, because these people will never realize what they have been missing. Let us help them get to their goals by providing high-quality early childhood programs which allow every child to learn how valuable knowledge is and to be able be able to appreciate the different perspectives.
Now is the time to work together to ensure that the next generation can have better lives than we do today.
It’s often not thought of that people can influence their children’s future. However, it is a way to ensure the future success of numerous families and individuals. Sponsoring a child will ensure that they have access to resources and abilities to aid their future. The benefits of sponsorship are vast beyond the people that receive help through the child sponsorship program.
Training / Education Inspiring others to be aware of Islam
Islam is a faith that rewards knowledge spreaders. As Muslims we have a duty to care to our fellow Muslims. We must share accurate information about Islam with other people so that they may also benefit from God’s compassion through prayer and other ways. The act of teaching someone how the Holy Quran is read brings you a reward even when you pass away. Every time your child shares or teaches another their motto, you will be benefiting. Don’t simply die and not do any good doings.
Construction of a Water Well
Imagine living without clean drinking water. It is hard enough to acquire the most important of daily necessities however what would happen if you weren’t able to get it? It wouldn’t be possible to conduct your everyday activities or maintain healthy hygiene practices (think health). The situation becomes even more challenging when one considers the fact that a lot of developing countries lack the necessary resources to them on their own. They rely heavily upon international assistance which often comes with very little other reward than appreciation.
Participating in the building of the building of Mosque, School or Hospital
For the greatest rewards, many people of faith make donations to mosques, schools, or other institutions. You can also contribute your time and money to help with goals such as building an orphanage. This is done for other people who benefit from these donations. This is one of the many examples which show that giving back feels more satisfied than if would have bought something tangible with all those prayer points.
