Sadaqah Jariyah (Ceaseless Charity)
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam:
Assalam O Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu:
May this message find all of you in good health and spirit of Iman.
The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things:
Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); knowledge which is beneficial; or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (the deceased)." [Sahih Muslim]
"His deeds come to an end" means that he/she is not able to perform any deeds any more and therefore does not receive reward for actions anymore.
But there are three categories of actions for which he/she can receive reward even after death.
Sadaqah Jariyah is any good deed done from which people continue to benefit despite the demise of the person who originated it. For example, the establishment of a Masjid from which people are rightly guided will be Sadaqah Jariyah for the person who established it. Having a well dug or a shade or fruit tree planted will also accrue good deeds for a person, as long as the well or tree benefits people.
Needless to say all such deeds have to be done with sincerity (ikhlas) in seeking the pleasure of Allah (subhana wa ta'ala).
Only when they are done to earn Allah's pleasure will they be rewarded by Him. If they are done for fame, monetary gain, or any other worldly benefit, then the outcome one achieves in this world is all that they will get for it.
Masjid Al Noor - Dawah Center in the Sin City needs your help and you can earn the reward of Sadaqah Jariyah. We are in Deficit for $103,000 this year due to construction costs this year.
We desperately need your help to cover this year's deficit.
We will appreciate if you can contribute whatever you can to help the Masjid. This is a great opportunity for you to earn the reward from Allah swt and make your contribution for the the Sadaqah Jariyah. You can donate for yourself or for your family and the reward will continue to be forwarded as long the people pray in the Masjid. As many of you know, this is the most populated mosque in the Sin City. Your help will go a long way. It is easy to donate, simply click the link below and you will be able to take care of it right now. Don't postpone it. Do it now, inshaa Allah.
Allah will reward you tremendously for this ceaseless charity as much as He wants, do it with sincere intention whatever you can and do it now.
