“When a man dies, his good deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah [ceaseless charity]; a knowledge which [he has passed on and] is beneficial; or a virtuous descendant who prays for him.” (Muslim)
Sadaqah Jariyah is a special form of charity that provides perpetual blessings, extending beyond the initial donation and continuing even after the donor has passed away. It is used to deliver lasting benefits to a community over the long term. For this reason, those who give Sadaqah Jariyah reap the rewards of their generosity both now and in the hereafter.
For 30 years, the early donors who helped establish Shaukat Khanum Hospitals have been reaping the rewards of their Sadaqah Jariyah donations. This Ramadan, earn rewards of your own; help us move a step closer to opening a new hospital in Karachi.
Give Sadaqah Jariyah KARACHI HOSPITAL UPDATE
This year, as Shaukat Khanum Hospitals celebrate 30 years of service, our founder is unable to make an appeal to mark this significant milestone. In his absence, Humayun Saeed offers inspiration on facing life's challenges. We hope you will watch his video and continue to support our patients with your Sadaqah Jariyah, showing that we still stand together in the fight against cancer.
TURN LIFE’S CHALLENGES INTO LASTING REWARDS WITH SADAQAH JARIYAH
In Pakistan, where there is no national health service, many experts initially dismissed the idea of establishing a cancer hospital for the poor. However, thanks to Sadaqah Jariyah, our first hospital opened its doors in Lahore on December 29th, 1994.
Since then, your donations have helped build a second hospital in Peshawar in 2015, along with a network of Diagnostic Centres, Laboratory Collection Centres, and Outreach Screening Clinics. Most recently, your Sadaqah Jariyah supported the opening of a new Walk-in Clinic in Karachi in 2023.
Today, free cancer care is accessible to 75% of patients with limited means throughout the country, even in the hardest-to-reach areas. The next challenge is to open a new hospital for patients in Pakistan's largest city.
At one million square feet, the Karachi hospital will be double the size of our first hospital in Lahore. It will feature 47 outpatient examination rooms, a 69-bed chemotherapy facility, 288 inpatient beds, 16 operation theatres, and 24 intensive care beds.
The hospital will be fitted with the latest cutting-edge technology, such as advanced diagnostic facilities and innovative treatment planning and delivery systems. With your help this Ramadan, we can move a step closer to the finish line.

Sa’d ibn 'Ubadah’s mother had died when he was absent, and he asked the Prophet (ﷺ): “O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died when I was absent. Will it benefit her if I give in charity on her behalf?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Yes.” Sa’d said: “I ask you to bear witness that my garden that bears fruit is given in charity on her behalf." (Bukhari)
Imran Khan laid the first bricks of our first hospital in memory of his beloved mother, who passed away from colon cancer at the age of 63.
We understand the pain and sorrow that comes with losing someone dear and have created a meaningful opportunity to give Sadaqah Jariyah in their name. A donation made today will allow them to receive perpetual blessings for as long as Allah (SWT) wills.
SADAQAH JARIYAH IN LOVING MEMORY
