Give Sadaqah Jariya
In the Islamic tradition, Sadaqah is voluntary charity, described in the Holy Qur’an as ‘a beautiful loan.’ Sadaqah Jariya is recurring charity – a charitable act that continues to better the lives of others, even after the donor has passed away. Last year, we turned your Sadaqah into Sadaqah Jariya, through recurring charity projects.
Sadaqah and The Big Muslim Fund
The Big Muslim Fund is how our supporters put their excess wealth into ending poverty. It’s a simpler, more secure way to give Sadaqah and Zakat. It’s effective, because while one man’s Sadaqah might not solve the safe water crisis of a Ghanaian village, the Sadaqah of several men/women can.
With the Big Muslim Fund, your Sadaqah contributes to a pool designated for Sadaqah-eligible projects. MGR takes these funds and puts them into development or charitable projects in villages in some of the poorest corners of the world. Through The Big Muslim Fund, you can give one off donations, or regularly – achieving the discretion that is favourable when giving Sadaqah. Find Out More
What we have done
Sadaqah Jariya into Water aid: we have installed thousands of hand pumps and wells, which continue to provide clean water for over millions of people around the world.
Sadaqah Jariya into Livelihood Projects: we have planted thousands of fruit trees providing poor families with food and a potential income
Sadaqah Jariya into mosques: we have built hundreds of mosques in villages spanning Pakistan to Indonesia, which serve as places of worship, learning and community support
Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? –The Holy Qur’an (2:245)
Transparency
At MGR, we focus our resources on small-scale projects and keep our reach small. Our staff and partners are experts at what they do. They’d rather deliver fewer projects that are effective and easy to account for, than spread themselves too thin. Keeping our work small but our impact big also means transparency and accountability. This is important to us as a Muslim charity, and to our donors. At the end of each year as a Big Muslim Fund supporter, we’ll send you feedback on how we spent your Sadaqah and the positive difference it’s made in poor villages.
The Prophet (saw) said, ‘When a man dies, his good deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which [he has passed on and] is beneficial; or a virtuous descendant who prays for him.’ – Hadith Muslim
