![]() There are plenty of ways to give Sadaqah Jariyah, but some of our recommended projects include donating a water well, illuminating the Dome of the Rock and housing a Syrian family. ![]() You can illuminate the Dome of the Rock in the name of your loved one, ensuring their legacy for generations to come. Let us remember and honour our loved ones with Sadaqah Jariyah just as we would wish for our loved ones to honour us with beneficial, ongoing charity. He will stand at the edge of the grave and say: ‘O occupant of the deep grave, this is a gift given to you by your family, so accept it.’ Then he will enter upon him, and he will be delighted thereafter and rejoice, and his neighbours (in the graveyard) who were not given anything will be sad’. The Prophet (saw) said, ‘There is no household of whom one person dies and they give charity on his behalf after his death, but Jibreel (as) will present it to him on a platter of light. We also find from the Hadith, that our charity directly reaches our loved ones in the Barzakh, giving them joy: You can donate a tube-well in the name of a loved one from just £190, providing the gift of clean water to deprived communities. On the authority of Sa‘d bin ’Ubadah (ra) that he said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Umm (mother of) Sa‘d has died, so which charity is best?’ He replied, “Water (is best).” He said, ‘So he dug a well and said, “This (well) is for Umm Sa‘d”’. However, the truth is, when a person makes a donation or executes a charitable act in the name of one or more deceased or living people (no maximum limit), it will benefit them all with full reward, without decreasing our own rewards! One of the major misconceptions about giving Sadaqah Jariyah is that our own reward will be decreased, and if we give it on behalf of both parents, that reward will be split into two. This is a continuous, ongoing charity, which will benefit them for years and years to come and comes directly from the Qur’an and Sunnah. Īllah (swt) has also blessed us with the chance to give Sadaqah Jariyah on behalf of our loved ones. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise’. Our Lord, and admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have promised them and whoever was righteous among their forefathers, their spouses and their offspring. ‘Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire. There are many verses in the Qur’an where prayers are made for those who have passed away: T he best du’a is that which is in accordance with the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (saw) and the Qur’an. These don’t necessarily have to be offered in a gathering or at the graveyard. Just as we would want our loved ones to remember us after we pass, we should honour our deceased, as they are in need of our du’as. It is our continuous prayer, remembrance and du’a that will help them in the Barzakh, the interspace between this world and the next. Alhamdulillah, we have the opportunity to make du’a for our loved ones and benefit them in the grave, by seeking forgiveness for them. ![]() One of the greatest gifts we have as believers is the gift of du’a (supplication). So, trust in Allah (swt) and read on for more advice. Ameen! While you may dream of that reunion in Heaven, there are ways you can help yourself through the grief and benefit both yourself and your loved one in this world. ![]() We pray Allah (swt) allows us to reunite with our loved ones in the Gardens of Paradise, embracing them, knowing there are no more goodbyes. We believe that this Dunya is not the end, that there is indeed a reunion in the Hereafter. Nevertheless, when we lose someone close to us, it is a heartbreaking time - as we attach ourselves to all the memories we shared, facing the reality that we will never see them again in this world.īut our faith is a religion of hope. We lose ourselves in this temporary world, forgetting that we shall soon return to our Creator, with the death of loved ones being a sign that indeed none of us are here forever. Ameen!ĭeath is the only thing promised in life. ![]() We pray Allah (swt) grants them all the highest ranks of Jannah, may He illuminate their graves and grant beautiful patience ‘Sabr Jameel’ to their loved ones. Many of us have lost loved ones to COVID-19. The last year has been one of tremendous trials and tribulations. ‘Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we are returning'. ![]()
