Story
Assalaamu alaikum,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Bismillah. I have have joined my brothers from the Hasan Hajj group of 2014, to raise money for a solar powered water well in a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh. I am doing this as a sadaqah jariyah (perpetual charity) in the name of my maternal and paternal grandparents (my nana and nani, dada and dadi). May Allāh accept it and reward them in the akhirah.
‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) was asked, “Which charity is best?” He replied, “[Providing] water”’. [Abu Dawud]
We use water for everything, for drinking, washing ourselves, making wudu, cooking food, washing clothes and dishes, growing crops and more. Allah says in the Qur’an, ‘By means of water, we give life to everything’. (Qur’an, 21:30) Communities who don’t have access to clean water face unimaginable hardships, with women and children walking for hours to collect even a little water, and families unable to support themselves due to lack of education and livelihood. Having access to safe water is a basic human right and fulfilling this right is an excellent Sadaqah jariyah.
So please give generously and may Allāh grant you and your family the sweet drink of Jannah. Āmeen!
