Introduction

Sadaqah is a voluntary act of charity given for the sake of Allah (SWT) to help those in need. Unlike Zakat, which is an obligatory charity, Sadaqah has no fixed amount, and anyone can give as much or as little as they like at any time. It is a selfless act of giving that brings countless blessings and rewards.

Sadaqah is a powerful way to seek Allah’s pleasure, protect yourself from harm, and help those in need. Whether it is a small act of kindness or a large donation, every act of charity is highly rewarded. The best charity is the one given sincerely for the sake of Allah (SWT), no matter the amount.
"The best charity is that given in secret to the poor." (Sunan an-Nasa’i)

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "When a person dies, his deeds end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him." (Sahih Muslim)
