Sadaqah Donation to SteppingStones Charity
Sadaqah is one of the most powerful forms of charity in Islam. It purifies wealth, strengthens faith, and helps support the most vulnerable. At SteppingStones Charity, we are committed to using your Sadaqah donations to bring meaningful change — especially in South America, where no other Muslim charity currently operates. Your support helps uplift forgotten communities and earns immense reward in this life and the Hereafter.
What is Sadaqah?
Sadaqah is a voluntary act of charity given by Muslims for the sake of Allah. Unlike Zakat, which is obligatory, Sadaqah can be given at any time, in any amount, and in many forms — including money, food, kind words, or even a smile. It is a way to show compassion, build community, and seek Allah’s mercy.
Why is Sadaqah Important in Islam?
Sadaqah is deeply encouraged in the Qur’an and Hadith. It not only helps those in need but also benefits the giver in countless ways:
- Purifies wealth from greed and ego
- Earns continuous reward from Allah
- Protects from calamities
- Brings peace and spiritual fulfilment
Benefits of Giving Sadaqah
Purification of Wealth
Sadaqah removes impurities from your income, ensuring it is blessed and beneficial.
Spiritual Rewards
Every small act of charity is counted. Sadaqah builds your scale of good deeds in the Hereafter.
Emotional and Social Impact
Giving Sadaqah builds empathy, reduces hardship, and strengthens the bonds of society.
Categories of Sadaqah
At SteppingStones Charity, we follow the traditional Islamic categorisation of Sadaqah to help donors understand where their contributions go. These include:
Sadaqah Wajibah (Obligatory Charity)
- Zakat – Compulsory annual donation on surplus wealth
- Fidya – Given when one is unable to fast due to illness or old age
- Kaffarah – Expiation for breaking a fast or oath
- Sadaqat-ul-Fitr – Given at the end of Ramadan before Eid prayer
- Nadhr – Fulfilment of a vow made to Allah
Sadaqah Nafilah (Voluntary Charity)
- General Sadaqah – Any form of voluntary charity
- Sadaqah Jariyah – Ongoing charity with lasting benefit (e.g., wells, schools)
- Lillah – Charity given purely for the sake of Allah
- Waqf – Endowment used for religious or community benefit
- Aqiqah – Charity in the form of animal sacrifice to celebrate a child’s birth
- Udhiyyah/Qurbani – Animal sacrifice during Eid ul-Adha
These categories help ensure your donations are used in line with Islamic teachings and based on your intentions.
Examples of Sadaqah You Can Give
Monetary Donations
The most common and flexible form of Sadaqah. You can give any amount to support our projects in South America, including food parcels, housing, and education.
Food and Clothing
Essential support for those experiencing poverty. Your donations go directly to providing meals, warm clothes, and essentials to families in need.
Volunteering Time
If you cannot give money, you can give time. Volunteering is a powerful form of Sadaqah that builds community and brings great reward.
Sadaqah Jariyah
The most impactful form — ongoing charity that continues to reward you even after death. Examples include funding water wells, schools, or Qur’an distributions.
Sadaqah in the Qur’an
Allah mentions Sadaqah many times in the Qur’an. Two notable verses include:
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:261):
“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed which grows seven ears; in every ear is a hundred grains.”
Surah At-Tawbah (9:60):
“Charitable offerings are for the poor, the needy, those employed to administer it… and for travellers.”
These verses highlight how Sadaqah multiplies reward and serves many types of people in need.
Sadaqah in the Hadith
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“The best charity is that which is given when one is healthy and hoping for wealth, and afraid of poverty.”
(Sahih Bukhari)
“Every act of kindness is charity.”
(Sahih Muslim)
“Charity extinguishes sins just as water extinguishes fire.”
(Tirmidhi)
These teachings show how charity brings spiritual purification and blessings.
