Did you know that donating to support education is considered an act of Sadaqah Jariyah?

What is Sadaqah Jariyah?

While any act of charity is greatly appreciated and pleases Allah (SWT) , Sadaqah Jariyah is the act of giving long-term charity, which will provide support for months and years to come. 

Education is one of the most powerful gifts a person can give and is something that could change the course of a person’s life forever, making it an act of Sadaqah Jariyah.

Donate today to support our future generation inshallah!
