Sadaqah is not a new topic to be discussed about. But it is something that needs a constant reminder. As human being, we tend to have that forgetful traits in us. Thus, constant reminder is a need for all of us. Plus a reminder of another thing makes you think about the other thing. Therefore, a reminder in Sadaqah will be able to direct us back to remember our ultimate aim in this world that is the Akhirah.
“When a man dies all his good deeds come to an end except three: Ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah), beneficial knowledge and a righteous son who prays for him.” (Sunan an-Nasa’i)
‘Generosity is near to Allah, near to Paradise, near to the people, and far from the Hellfire…’ (Tirmidhi)
Sadaqah is mentioned 13 times in the Holy Quran. It is mentioned in the Quran that gives from what we have given you. There are many types of Sadaqah apart from money and we will look through at some of it.
There are various types of Sadaqah defined in the hadith and the Quran, these are:
• Spreading knowledge is a charity
• Giving sincere advice is a type of Sadaqah
• It is an act of charity to say a kind word or to smile at a fellow Muslim
• It is a Sadaqah to share food
• Giving your time and energy to a good cause is also Sadaqah
• Having patience in times of trials is also an act of charity
• Tarbiyah of your family and children
From this list, you can see anything we give with pure intentions to help others is a Sadaqah. And it holds a great value in the eyes of our Lord, Allah. And these are the different types of Sadaqah that are easily achievable.
So, do not stop from giving Sadaqah. It is a bridge that we are building to reach the Jannah, Insyaallah. Ameen.
