WHAT IS
SADAQAH JARIYAH?
Sadaqah Jariyah is ongoing charity, a gift that keeps generating reward long after it's given. A mosque is one of the clearest forms it takes: a space that serves worship, learning, and community for as long as it stands.
WHY A MOSQUE IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST FORMS
Every prayer performed inside it, every lesson taught, every person who finds shelter or community there becomes part of its reward. It is not charity as the world defines it. It is a legacy written into the lives of everyone the space serves, for as long as it stands.
ARCD's mosques are built on the principles of Maqasid Al-Shariah, not as buildings alone, but as centres of worship, learning, and community support, rooted in the areas that need them most.
MORE THAN A
MOSQUE
ARCD's mosque projects are not construction-only initiatives. Across Africa, ARCD has built mosques that also serve as:
Places of Worship
Daily prayers, Jumu'ah, and Eid gatherings for the whole community.
Educational Centres
Qur'an classes, Islamic studies, and in many cases general education for children who have nowhere else to learn.
Community Gathering Spaces
Hub for local support, celebration, and mutual aid.
I knew the water was not clean. But it was the only water there was.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about donations, programs, and how you can get involved.
1
What does ARCD's mosque program actually build?
ARCD builds mosques that also function as community learning centres spaces for prayer, Qur'an and Islamic education, and general community gathering and support.
2
Why is a mosque considered Sadaqah Jariyah?
Because its benefit continues indefinitely. Every prayer, class, or gathering held inside it generates ongoing reward for the donor, for as long as the space is in use.
3
Can I give this in memory of a loved one?
Yes, dedicating a mosque or community centre donation in memory of someone is one of the most recommended forms of Sadaqah Jariyah, with reward reaching the deceased.
4
Is there a minimum donation?
No. Any contribution toward a mosque or community centre project counts as a share in its Sadaqah Jariyah even a modest gift toward a project under construction.
5
Where does ARCD build these mosques?
ARCD builds in underserved communities across Africa, prioritizing areas where a mosque can also serve as the only available space for education and community support.
