Assalamu Alaikum, I have set up this page as Sadaqah Jaariyah for my late aunt. All donations will be used by Islamic Relief to provide water for those in need in the form of solar-powered borehole wells, drip irrigation systems, microdams, flood resistant hand pumps, water ponds and much more.
Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Yes.” I said, “Which charity is best?” The Prophet said, “A drink of water.”
