Sadaqah
Goodness is the most important of all virtues because without goodness, all other virtues would not make much of sense, it is their primary cause and ultimate purpose. Goodness is engrained in the human nature; it is a fulfilling sense of satisfaction through doing good deeds towards our surroundings. The religion of Islam emphasizes on the importance of doing good and calls it by the name Sadaqah (The word Sadaqah derives from the Arabic root word “Sidq” which translates to “Truth”). Allah SWT says in the holy Quran “…. And whoever volunteers good – then indeed, Allah is appreciative and Knowing.” [Quran, 2: 158]] Sadaqah (Charity) in Islam is every righteous deed that aims at improving our lives and the lives of others. It is a concept that has been thoroughly detailed and greatly encouraged through different means, types, and ways. Unlike Zakat, Sadaqah is a voluntary act of kindness for the betterment and benefit of our society.Unlike Zakat, Sadaqah is not limited to giving money
Ongoing charity can also be in the form of donations to build mosques, Quran centers and orphanages, and to fund relief campaigns in countries afflicted with conflict such Yemen, Syria, and Iraq. Many Muslim scholars recommend to give Saqadah during the holy month of Ramadan as it is always chance to draw closer to Allah SWT and to cleanse our souls from greed and selfishness.
