As the sacred last 10 nights of Ramadan draw near, we find ourselves standing at the threshold of an extraordinary opportunity — a divine moment where each act of kindness, each prayer, and each donation carries a weight far beyond comprehension. In these nights lies the possibility of attaining Laylatul Qadr — a night better than a thousand months. It’s a moment in time where the gates of mercy are wide open and where a single act of charity can echo across generations, long after we return to our Creator.
But how can we ensure that our giving leaves a legacy? The answer is simple yet profound: Sadaqah Jariyah — continuous charity that keeps giving, even when we cannot.
What is Sadaqah Jariyah?
Sadaqah Jariyah is not a one-time gift; it’s an investment in humanity and the hereafter. It is the well that provides water for generations. The school that empowers children to rise out of poverty. The knowledge passed from student to student. The small business that lifts a family out of despair.
As Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) beautifully said:
“When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuing charity, beneficial knowledge, and a child who prays for them.” (Muslim)
Every act of Sadaqah Jariyah becomes a ripple in the ocean of goodness — never-ending, ever-multiplying.
Why Focus on the Last 10 Nights of Ramadan?
These nights are not ordinary. They are blessed beyond imagination. Among them is Laylatul Qadr, a night so powerful that its blessings outweigh those of a thousand months — over 83 years of worship.
Imagine giving a donation in these nights, and that donation continues to serve, heal, and uplift lives for years. Now multiply that impact by 1,000 months — the reward becomes immeasurable. This is a chance to secure your legacy in both this life and the next.
How Muslim Food Bank and Community Services Turns Your Sadaqah Jariyah Into a Lasting Impact?
When you give through Muslim Food Bank and Community Services, your donation becomes a seed that grows and flourishes. Here’s how:
1. Empowering Refugees and Newcomers — Rebuilding Lives
Leaving one’s home in search of safety is a journey filled with fear and uncertainty. We transform that fear into hope. Your contributions fund language classes, skills development, job placement support, and mentorship programs. Families who arrive with nothing are empowered to build new lives with dignity and purpose.
2. Feeding Families — Sustaining Lives Beyond Ramadan
Hunger doesn’t pause after Ramadan. With your support, we provide:
-
Monthly food hampers
Every meal served is a silent prayer answered, a family fed, and a heart eased.
3. Supporting Single Mothers and Orphans — Lifting the Vulnerable
Single mothers carry heavy burdens, often alone. We offer financial aid, counseling, and long-term mentorship, helping them nurture their children with stability and hope. Orphans in our care receive education, healthcare, and opportunities to break cycles of poverty.
4. Building Futures Through Education
Education is one of the strongest forms of continuous charity.
These aren’t just school supplies — they are the tools that shape future leaders and changemakers.
5. Extending Mercy Across Borders — International Impact
Your Sadaqah Jariyah reaches far beyond Canadian borders. Through your generosity:
- Water wells are built in drought-stricken Kenya.
