Reflections on Community: What Sadaqah Jariyah Really Means

PublishedJuly 23, 2026

“When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.” This hadith has shaped how we think about giving at USICC.

Ongoing charity is not only about the size of a donation — it is about building something that keeps serving people long after we are gone. A well that keeps giving water. A class that keeps teaching Quran. A meal program that keeps feeding families.

That is the spirit behind every program this community supports.
