Sadaqah comes from the Arabic word “sidq,” meaning sincerity and truthfulness. It is any voluntary act of charity given purely to please Allah (SWT) whether through money, time, a kind word, or even a smile. Unlike Zakat, which is obligatory, Sadaqah is entirely voluntary and can be given at any time, in any amount, to anyone in need.
Sadaqah is more than just giving it purifies your wealth, protects you from calamity, and draws you closer to Allah. It establishes a flow of generosity within our communities, bonding Muslims together and lifting up those who are struggling. Allah says in the Qur’an: “Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over?” (2:245)
Through Islamic Relief Kenya, your Sadaqah reaches the most vulnerable communities across the country from drought-affected families in Garissa, Wajir, and Mandera to displaced households in Nairobi and the coastal region. Your generous contributions support emergency drought and flood response, providing life-saving relief to families in crisis. They fund food distribution to vulnerable households, ensuring no family goes hungry during times of hardship. Your Sadaqah provides medical support to displaced communities who have no access to healthcare, funds education and school supplies for children who would otherwise miss out, and delivers clean water to underserved areas through borehole construction and water systems that serve entire villages for years to come.

When your Sadaqah creates lasting benefit, it becomes Sadaqah Jariyah an ongoing charity that continues to earn you rewards even after you have passed from this world. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuing charity, beneficial knowledge, and a child who prays for them.” (Muslim)
Every borehole built, every classroom constructed, every orphan sponsored these are acts of Sadaqah Jariyah whose rewards never stop. When a child drinks clean water from a well you helped build, you are rewarded. When a student learns in a classroom you helped construct, you are rewarded. The giving truly never ends.

Across Kenya, thousands of families are facing drought, displacement, and hunger. They need your help today. Your Sadaqah no matter how small can be the difference between despair and dignity for a family in crisis. The Prophet (peace be upon him) reminded us: “The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be their charity.” (Tirmidhi)
May Allah (SWT) reward you abundantly and accept your contributions as a source of ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah).
