Whether you're a newcomer to Islam, a Muslim or Muslim Revert who is rediscovering true Islam for the first time, someone who is simply interested in the faith which claims over two billion followers worldwide, or a researcher, educator, student or writer, this website presents authoritative Islamic Answers to Questions about Islam from both Muslims and non-Muslims.
CONTINUOUS
SADAQAH
To spend in the path of
Allah Ta'ala by way of propagating the Deen of Allah is highly
meritorious and rewarding. Reward attained through the
performance of certain good deeds affords the continuity of
reward even after death.
Indeed fortunate are those
who have reaped such tremendous benefits and Insha Allah will
bear the fruits in the hereafter.
Some of the common
contributions made in this respect are: donations towards the
Masjid, printing of Yaseen Shareef, building of Darul Ulooms,
etc. Undoubtedly these projects are required and should be
encouraged.
However, the printing of
'Yaseen Shareef', or 'Dua e Jamilah' or
'Durood and Salaam' and other similar material is
undertaken frequently and on a large scale. The result is that
mosques, Madrassahs and homes are flooded with these
booklets/leaflets.
Hazrath Abu Hurairah (RA)
has reported the messenger of Allah as saying, "Among the
actions and good deeds for which a believer will continue to
receive reward, after his death, are knowledge which he taught
and spread, a good son whom he left behind, or a copy of the
Qur'an which he left as a legacy, or a mosque which he
erected, or a house which he built for the traveller, or a
stream which he caused to flow, or a Sadaqah which he gave
from his property when he was alive and well, for which he
will continue to receive reward after his death". (Ibn
Majah - Mishkat)
The above hadith indicates
various ways to attain the reward of Sadaqa e
Jaariyya.
Sadaqa e Jariyya can be given by printing any
suitable Islamic literature, for example, printing a book on
'marriage' or `The Beard'. Alhumdullah many
books in English are available in South Africa that only need
to be reproduced.
Printing and reproducing
expensive Islamic literature and making this available free of
charge will be exceptionally and one will (Insha Allah) obtain
ever-reccuring reward. However, one should ensure the
authenticity of Kitaabs before printing them for very easily
much harm could be caused. Reliable Ulama should be consulted
in this regard.
