What is 欲漫涩h Jariyah?
What is 欲漫涩h Jariyah?
The meaning of 欲漫涩h Jariyah听is a continuous, flowing and ongoing charity. Whether this charity is given on behalf of a deceased love one or to those in need in your living years, it is one of the most rewarding acts we can do in our lives. The benefits of giving this type of charity can be reaped in this lifetime and long after we have passed.
听Allah (swt) guarantees to record these continuous acts of charity in the following verse:
'Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have accounted for in a clear register.' (Qur鈥檃n, 36:12)
The following famous Hadith gives us the good news that even after our death, 欲漫涩h Jariyah continues to benefit us:
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, 鈥榃hen a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: 欲漫涩h Jariyah (a continuous charity), or knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him.鈥� (Muslim)
What is the difference between 欲漫涩h and 欲漫涩h Jariyah?
To put it simply, they both count as 鈥�欲漫涩h鈥� (voluntary charity) and they are both highly recommended acts. However, 鈥樣琱鈥� on its own will benefit the recipient on a single occasion and will count as one good deed for the giver. 欲漫涩h Jariyah will benefit the recipients more than once and that good deed will continue rewarding you even after your death.
For example, giving someone something to eat is a 欲漫涩h and will benefit that person in that moment whereas building a water well where people can regularly draw water is a 欲漫涩h Jariyah and will benefit people for generations to come and in turn will continue benefiting you in this life and the next in sha鈥� Allah.
What qualifies as 欲漫涩h Jariyah?
There are numerous types of 欲漫涩h Jariyah but in the following hadith seven are mentioned by name:
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra) who said,
鈥�the Prophet (saw) said, 鈥淚ndeed, the rewards of his actions and good deeds that will reach a believer after his death are: [1] knowledge which he taught and spread; [2] a righteous child whom he leaves behind; [3] a copy of the Qur鈥檃n that he leaves as a legacy; [4] or a masjid that he built; [5] or a house that he built for wayfarers; [6] a canal that he dug; [7] or charity that he gave from his wealth in his good health and life. [These deeds] will reach him after his death.鈥濃�櫶�(Ibn Majah)
What are some examples of 欲漫涩h Jariyah?
Examples of 欲漫涩h Jariyah can range from something as simple as planting a single tree to supporting an entire mosque complex or place of education.
Who can receive 欲漫涩h Jariyah?
Unlike Zakat, which can be given to eight stipulated categories of people who must be Muslim, anyone in need can receive 欲漫涩h Jariyah. Can 欲漫涩h be given to non-Muslims? Yes, it is a charity you can use to benefit anyone, regardless of religion, ethnicity or location, as long as they are not waging war on Muslims, as this ayah explains:
'Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity. It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allah forbids you to befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the Zalimun [those who disobey Allah].' [The Noble Qur'an 60:8-9]

欲漫涩h Jariyah on behalf of the deceased
One of the best things about 欲漫涩h Jariyah is that you can give on behalf of the deceased and benefit them directly without decreasing your own rewards. When you lose a loved one, there is nothing that can ever take their place and it is often very hard to find the perfect way to honour their memory. Giving a 欲漫涩h Jariyah is one of the best things you can do for a loved one and something that they can benefit greatly from.
This is clearly indicated in the following hadith when a companion鈥檚 (ra) mother passed away and he sought the beloved Prophet鈥檚 (saw) advice about what to do for her:
On the authority of Sa鈥榙 bin 鈥楿badah (ra) that he said, 鈥極 Messenger of Allah! Umm (mother of) Sa鈥榙 has died, so which charity is best?鈥� He [saw] replied, 鈥淲ater (is best).鈥� He said, 鈥楽o he [ra] dug a well and said, 鈥淭his (well) is for Umm Sa鈥榙鈥濃��. (Abu Dawud)
Can I schedule 欲漫涩h Jariyah donations monthly?
Absolutely! It's a great way to commit to a small continuous act of good, which Allah loves:
'...The best of deeds is that which is done consistently, even if it is little.' (Ibn Majah)
Why not sponsor a disadvantaged child to memorise the Qur'an? Not only is it a manageable way of giving a regular amount of 欲漫涩h Jariyah, but its also spreading beneficial knowledge. Many charities offer Hifz sponsorships, including us!
Is 欲漫涩h Jariyah allowed during Ramadan or Dhul Hijjah?
Yes, giving 欲漫涩h Jariyah during blessed months like Ramadan or the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah can multiply your rewards significantly.
