FAQ
Continuous giving, also known as sadaqah jariyah, is charity that keeps benefiting others long after the giver has passed away. Monthly giving allows your impact to continue, supporting people in need on an ongoing basis while earning lasting spiritual reward.
Footsteps of Zahra (sa) is The Zahra Trust’s monthly giving program inspired by Lady Fatima Zahra (sa), a model of compassion and generosity. The program turns regular donations into long-term projects that support families, educate children, empower widows, and provide emergency relief.
One-time charity provides short-term help, but monthly giving creates long-term stability. Recurring donations ensure families have consistent support, children stay in school, and communities can grow sustainably over time.
When your donation funds long-lasting resources such as wells, classrooms, or livelihoods, the benefit continues well beyond the moment you gave. Each use of those resources extends your reward, making your charity ongoing in this life and the hereafter.
Monthly support helps fund clean water projects, education for orphans and underserved children, food assistance for struggling families, skills training for widows and vulnerable women, and medical care and emergency relief during crises.
Lady Fatima Zahra (sa) is a timeless example of humility, mercy, and selfless giving. Naming the program after her honors her legacy and encourages believers to follow her example through consistent and compassionate charity.
You can join by selecting a monthly donation amount and setting up a recurring gift through The Zahra Trust’s website. Every contribution, no matter how small, becomes part of a lasting chain of mercy that continues beyond this life.
