The Difference Between Zakat, Sadaqah, and Sadaqah Jariyah

Zakat & Alms Published: June 2026

Some donors confuse the various concepts of Islamic giving. Zakat is an obligatory pillar, calculated precisely and restricted to eight categories. Sadaqah is voluntary, flexible in amount and timing, and can be given to any charitable cause.

Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity) is a special category where the source remains active, providing ongoing rewards even after the donor's death. Examples include water wells, mosques, and education, benefiting people continuously.

Aman Charity offers diverse giving paths covering annual Zakat obligations, immediate food relief, and long-term Sadaqah Jariyah projects to ensure your donations achieve their intended purpose.
