What is Sadaqah Jariyah?

A quick overview of ongoing charity and why building/shareable knowledge can be high-impact.

Sadaqah jariyah is ongoing charity—good that continues benefiting people over time. A simple way to aim for it is to publish clear, helpful resources that people can keep using and sharing.

What to optimize for

  • Evergreen usefulness: basics people always need (wudu, salah, dua/adhkar, Qur’an reading).
  • Clarity: short and beginner-friendly, with step-by-step checklists.
  • Trust: cite sources and be transparent about differences of opinion.
  • Accessibility: mobile-first, printable, and easy to translate.
