ISLAMIC NOTES: Eleven Forms Of Sadaqa/Charity

In the Name of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

It was narrated that Allah's Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "Every person must perform a charity each day that the sun rises: to judge justly between two people is a charity. To help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or hoisting up his belongings onto it, is a charity. And the good word is a charity [good words such as kind advice, enjoining good deeds and forbidding evil, sharing reminders and sincere compliments]. And every step that you take towards the prayer is a charity, and removing a harmful object from the people's way is a charity."

[Sahih Bukhari and Muslim]

Examples Of Sadaqa/Charity:
1. Feeding hungry, needy or fasting Muslims.
2. Giving a gift or souvenir to a Muslim.
3. Offering a ride or transportation for free.
4. Defending Muslims who are oppressed or who are being badly spoken of.
5. Reconciling and making peace between Muslims.
