Easy upgrades for your Sadaqah

Giving Sadaqah during Ramadan is a great way to earn Barakah. But did you know that your blessings can extend beyond the initial donation, for as long as Allah (SWT) wills?

Sadaqah is any good deed that helps another, whether it’s a kind word, a smile, or a monetary gift. Sadaqah Jariyah, however, provides lasting benefits over the longer term, and yields enduring rewards.

‘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)

Here are a few ways to multiply the impact of your giving this Ramadan:

Bag Valve Mask £100

A bag valve mask (BVM) is a handheld medical device used to deliver positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing sufficiently or effectively. While they don’t have a definitive shelf life, manufacturers recommend replacing them every five years. This means five or more years of rewards for every life saved with your BVM.

 
Medical Refrigerator £140

Medical refrigerators are essential pieces of equipment in any lab. These appliances store biological materials, such as fluids and other substances, in a controlled environment. They play a critical role in diagnosing and treating thousands of cancer patients at Shaukat Khanum Hospitals each year.

 
New Karachi Hospital £250

This Ramadan, your Sadaqah Jariyah can move us a step closer to opening a new hospital in Karachi. At one million square feet, it will feature 47 outpatient examination rooms, a 69-bed chemotherapy facility, 288 inpatient beds, 16 operation theatres, and 24 intensive care beds. Many of us can’t afford to give much, that’s why we’re coming together to give what we can towards a big cause with perpetual blessings.

 
Lead Apron £320

Lead aprons are crucial for reducing exposure to diagnostic X-rays during medical imaging. These aprons help ensure patient safety by shielding their vital organs from potentially harmful ionizing radiation. With a lifespan of up to 10 years, your Sadaqah Jariyah will protect scores of patients throughout this time.

 
Endoscopic Clip Applier £640

A clip applier is an instrument used in endoscopic procedures and operations to hold body tissue in place without causing the patient harm. A single Sadaqah Jariyah donation can benefit countless patients over many years.

 
Syringe Pump £1,280

Also known as a syringe driver, this small infusion pump delivers precise quantities of fluids through continuous intravenous infusion. With a maximum capacity of 50ml, it enables fluids to be administered in small hourly doses and plays an integral role in treatment plans at our hospitals, benefitting hundreds of patients every year.

 
Double Chamber Infusion Pump £2,340

This indispensable medical device administers fluids like nutrients and medications into a patient’s body in controlled amounts, particularly for chemotherapy treatments. With a lifespan of 7-10 years, a single generous donation this Ramadan will yield enduring rewards.

Sadaqah Jariyah FAQs

1. Can I give Sadaqah Jariyah on behalf of a deceased loved one?

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 blessings for as long as Allah (SWT) wills.

Sa’d ibn ‘Ubaadah 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?” Rasulullah (ﷺ) said: “Yes.” So, he said: “I ask you to bear witness that my garden that bears fruit is given in charity on her behalf.” (Bukhari)

2. What does Imran Khan Cancer Appeal do with Sadaqah Jariyah?

We use your Sadaqah Jariyah to build and furnish Shaukat Khanum Hospitals, Diagnostic Centres, Laboratory Collection Centres, and Outreach Clinics to support cancer patients with limited means in Pakistan.

3. How do rewards from Sadaqah and Sadaqah Jariyah differ?

While giving Sadaqah is a wonderful way to gain blessings from Allah (SWT), Sadaqah Jariyah provides ongoing blessings for as long as your charity continues to benefit others. For instance, donating to feed a cancer patient is considered Sadaqah, whereas contributing to the construction or furnishing of a hospital qualifies as Sadaqah Jariyah, offering continuous rewards beyond the initial contribution.

4. Why should I give Sadaqah Jariyah to a cancer charity?

75% of the patients who come to Shaukat Khanum Hospitals are too poor to meet their basic daily needs, which is why we provide them with free treatment throughout the year. A donation made this Ramadan will bring renewed hope to those most in need.

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, we hope you will continue to support our patients with your Sadaqah Jariyah, showing that we still stand together in the fight against cancer.
