Losing a loved one is like having the rug swept from under your feet.<\/p>\n
We feel disoriented and disheartened. Often, hopeless.<\/p>\n
We make plans for the day and do not think twice about how those plans can be taken away in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n
We consider the things we would be willing to give up for one more memorable moment with our loved ones.<\/p>\n
It is amazing how we take life for granted. The tragedy never goes away.<\/p>\n
You just learn how to cope with it and keep moving on. \u2018I wish I could hear my dad\u2026 \u2018I wish I could tell him how much I love him. These thoughts often occupy us.<\/p>\n
But what if we could give them a gift we must always keep in mind that there is still hope.<\/p>\n
Even after they have passed away, we still have the chance to let our loved ones know how much we care about them.<\/p>\n
Nothing benefits man after he leaves this Duniya except for the rewards of ongoing charity.<\/p>\n
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said \u2018The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him,\u00a0ongoing charity; the reward of which reaches him,<\/strong>\u00a0and knowledge that is acted upon after him.\u201d (Sunan Ibn Ma\u0304jah 237)<\/p>\n Being regarded as one of the most rewarding acts, the power of Sadaqah comes from the intention of the person performing it.<\/p>\n Sadaqah for parents and the deceased helps a person gain the benefits from this life and enjoy it in the next.<\/p>\n \u201cSurely the men who give sadaqah and the women who give sadaqah and have advanced a good loan to Allah (SWT); for them, it will be multiplied and for them, there is a noble reward.\u201d \u2013 The Holy Qur\u2019an<\/p>\n A return on investment is not something you would normally associate with charitable donations. Nonetheless, Allah (swt) promises us that he will increase our wealth, and sustenance and bring us success in this life and in the hereafter when we give Sadaqah.<\/p>\n Sadaqah can protect one from hellfire and benefit a person in this life and the afterlife.<\/p>\n The \u2018Sadaqah That Grows\u2019.<\/p>\n Sadaqah Jariyah is a voluntary contribution that continues to give benefits to those who receive it long after the donor has gone. Although Sadaqah Jariyah is not mandatory, it reaps manifold rewards even in your afterlife.<\/p>\n The best form of giving a Sadaqah jariyah for parents or deceased parents is to provide an ongoing charity.<\/p>\n One can help in building a mosque that is less on funds and facilities.<\/p>\n Further, one can offer assistance in the education and living of children by contributing to the building of an orphanage or school.<\/p>\n One can also plant trees or assist in providing a clean supply of water.<\/p>\n Decide the campaign that you want to raise funds for by checking the\u00a0Madinah.com Fundraising Campaigns<\/strong>\u00a0and give a gift of eternal reward to your loved ones who have passed away.<\/p>\n When you give Sadaqah Jariyah through us, you are investing in sustainable projects, whose positive impact and blessings will last for a long time.<\/p>\n We offer several Sadaqah programs, from sponsoring orphans to building Masjids, to providing free education, that has transformed lives and generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Losing a loved one is like having the rug swept from under your feet.
