Sadaqah
Sadaqah is an Arabic word that means charity or voluntary giving in Islam. It is an act of generosity and kindness towards others, especially those who are in need. The concept of sadaqah is deeply rooted in Islam In Islam, It is considered a form of worship and is seen as a means of purifying one's wealth, earning blessings and forgiveness from Allah, and helping to promote social justice and equality. Muslims are encouraged to give sadaqah regularly, both in small amounts and as a part of their wealth, as a way of showing compassion, gratitude and as a means of seeking Allah's pleasure and reward.
Sadaqah e Jariyah
Sadaqah Jariyah, or ongoing charity, is a type of charity in Islam that continues to bring rewards to the donor after their death. The concept of Sadaqah Jariyah is based on a hadith (narration) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recorded in Sahih Muslim:
"When a man dies, all his good deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous son who will pray for him." (Sahih Muslim 1631)
This hadith highlights the importance of choosing acts of charity that will continue to benefit others even after one's death, as the reward for such deeds will continue to accrue to the donor.
Another hadith on the topic of Sadaqah Jariyah is recorded in Sunan Ibn Majah:
"Among the good deeds the reward of which will reach a believer after his death are: knowledge which he learned and then spread; a righteous son whom he leaves behind; a copy of the Quran that he leaves as a legacy; a mosque that he built; a house that he built for wayfarers; a canal that he dug; or charity that he gave during his lifetime when he was in good health. These deeds will reach him after his death." (Sunan Ibn Majah 242)
This hadith highlights various acts of charity that continue to benefit others even after death, and that bring ongoing rewards to the donor. It also underscores the importance of spreading beneficial knowledge and leaving behind a righteous legacy.
In conclusion, Zakat is a crucial act of worship and charity, which must be performed by Muslims who meet the necessary conditions.
