The example of those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah is that of a grain that sprouts into seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains. And Allah multiplies ˹the reward even more˺ to whoever He wills. For Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing. [Surah 2: Ayah 261]
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah, knowledge which is beneficial, or virtuous descendant who prays for him." [Muslim]
Sadaqah Jariyah refers to "ongoing charity" where as long as a donation benefits others in this life then inshaAllah the donation will provide benefits in this life and the Hereafter to the donor and if applicable to a loved one in whose behalf the donation is made.
AL-IRSHAD alhamdulilah has sponsored unique education-based sadaqah jariyah projects through a few generous donors.
The list of past, present, and future projects are listed below.
