When we die, everything we own remains behind. But our acts of kindness may continue to live on… if we create a legacy that continues to benefit others.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ says:
“When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.”
(Muslim)
That means your generosity does not have to end when you are no longer here.
What Does “Leaving a Legacy” Really Mean?
It’s not about fame or immense amount of wealth. It is about leaving behind something that benefits others i.e. supporting the projects that continues to benefit others perpetually.
We at Drop of Compassion have several Projects that you can build your legacy with:
1. Give Water, Give Life
The Prophet ﷺ said,
“The best charity is giving water to drink.”
(Ahmad)
We construct boreholes, wells, and gravity fed irrigation systems in locations such as Malawi, where families literally have to walk miles just to get water.
When you help support in providing clean water, each drop consumed for drinking, cooking, or cultivating food is included in your reward… Even after you pass away.
You can donate for:
- A handpump that gives safe water to hundreds of people
- A water irrigation system that helps farmers grow crops
- A water wheel that makes life easier for women and children
2. Heal the Sick, Earn Reward
Through our Maternity Wing and Health Clinic in Malawi, We take care for mothers, babies, and families with dignity.
Each patient treated, each life preserved… That’s your legacy of compassion left behind.
Just £30 provides one patient’s care at the Maternity wing
3. Educate a Child, Shape the Future
Education is one of the most powerful forms Sadaqah Jariyah. By helping a child learn, you not just empowering and transforming one individual’s but rather the generations after him.
Our Educate a Leader programme enables students from low-income families to go to school to the university to pursue higher education. After they have completed their education, they go back to their communities and contribute on their empowerment.
Every book, every lesson, every success = your reward continues.
4. Empowerment with Zakat
In Islam, even planting a tree is considered be charity. The Prophet ﷺ said:
“If a Muslim plants a tree or sows seeds, and a bird, person, or animal eats from it, it is regarded as charity for him.”
(Bukhari)
Our sustainable living projects empower the individuals and the communities to become independent. We have a number of projects such as: Goat Farming, Honey Farming, small business funding, providing Sewing Machine, providing Rickshaws the University Scholarship Programme.
Your Donation = Their independence.
£100: Distribute your Donation across all Zakat Empowerment projects
5. Building a Masjid
The Prophet ﷺ said,
“Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.”
(Bukhari & Muslim)
Building a Masjid not just serves as a place of worship for the people. It doubles as a hub for social and educational facility. Every time a person prays, a child learns the Quran and Sunnah, communities come together to advance the Islamic faith in their local area…. You get share in their rewards….!
Even if you cannot build an entire Masjid, your share may be part of one. That’s the beauty of Sadaqah Jariyah… Each participant who joins also benefits from the enduring reward.
6. Share and Inspire
Not everyone can donate, but everyone can help spread the word…
The Prophet ﷺ said,
“Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like the one who did it.”
(Muslim)
Spreading a message, motivating a friend to donate, or discussing live about the charity on social media can double your reward. When others do something because of you, you get a share in their rewards as well.
