Sadaqa and Charity in the Qur'an
The importance of charity is mentioned many times in the Qur'an. One such
verse is: "Give to the near of kin his due, and also to the needy and the wayfarers.
Do not squander your wealth wastefully; for those who squander wastefully are Satan's
brothers, and Satan is ever ungrateful to his Lord." (17:26-27)
Rewards for Giving Charity
Giving sadaqa will not diminish a Muslim's wealth. It serves as expiation
for sins and yields rewards in the next life.
Allah says: "For those who give in charity, men and women, and loan to Allah
a Beautiful Loan, it shall be increased manifold (to their credit), and they shall
have (besides) a liberal reward."(Qur'an 57:18).
And, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "To give something to a
poor man brings one reward, while giving the same to a needy relation brings two:
one for charity and the other for respecting the family ties." (Ahmad and Tirmidhi)
The original arabic word, Masjid meaning any place where you do 'sajda' (prostration)
before God Almighty. In Sajda or prostration the forehead touching the ground as
practiced in Salat or prayer.
Prophet Muhammad said: When a person leave his earthly body, all his or her actions
terminate but three:
1. Knowledge through which people benefit,
2. Sadaqa Jaariyya (recurring charity), and
3. Pious child who makes dua or supplication for the parents.
And building of Mosque falls into the Sadaqa Jaariyya or recurring / continuous
charity because as long as people come for Divine Remembrance and worship, the merits
and blessings are sent to the ones who were behind building the mosque.
