fundmyimam“Charity does not decrease wealth.”— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Sahih Muslim)
What is Sadaqah?
Sadaqah (صدقة) is voluntary charity given purely for the sake of Allah. Unlike Zakat, which is obligatory with fixed rules, Sadaqah can be given at any time, in any amount, by anyone — in ease or in hardship. It may be money, food, clothing, effort, or simply a sincere act of kindness.
Through fundmyimam.org, your Sadaqah reaches a place where it keeps giving: the masjids, madrasas and imams that serve your community every single day. You choose exactly which verified institution to support, and your donation goes toward its real, current need.
The reward of giving
Charity is mentioned again and again in the Qur'an and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — as a means of pleasing Allah, purifying wealth, and protecting oneself from hardship. A few of his blessed words on charity:
“Protect yourself from the Fire, even with half a date given in charity.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Sahih al-Bukhari)“The believer's shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Musnad Ahmad)“Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (al-Tirmidhi)“Every act of goodness is charity.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Sahih Muslim)Sadaqah Jariyah — a charity that never stops
“When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: an ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Sahih Muslim)
Supporting a masjid or a madrasa is among the finest forms of Sadaqah Jariyah. Every prayer offered, every verse taught, and every child who learns there continues to earn reward for those who helped keep its doors open — long after the donation is given.
