Sadaqa - Context, Faith and Practice

 Download - BOOK1, BOOK2

Sadaqa: In Islamic tradition, acts of kindness or voluntary giving. 


Sadaqa is charity given voluntarily in order to please God. Sadaqa also describes a voluntary charitable act towards others, whether through generosity, love, compassion or faith (e.g TKN - Time and Knowledge Nazrana}. These acts are not necessarily physical or monetary.

Here are some key points you mentioned:

  • Voluntary: Unlike Zakat, the obligatory charity in Islam, Sadaqa is completely voluntary. You give what you can, when you can.

  • For the sake of God: The intention behind Sadaqa is to please God and fulfill your faith.

  • Many forms: Sadaqa can be financial donations, of course, but it can also be acts of kindness, helpfulness, or even a simple smile.

Sadaqa is a beautiful way for Muslims to show compassion and contribute to a better world. Is there anything else you'd like to know about Sadaqa, or its from Zakat?
