Help Save Lives at Your Local Masjid: Donate for an AED Machine and Training

*Help Save Lives at Your Local Masjid: Donate for an AED Machine and Training*

Masjids are more than just places of worship—they are vibrant community hubs where we come together to pray, learn, build connections, and enjoy one another’s company. In these moments of unity, it’s crucial that we also prioritize safety.

Heart emergencies can strike at any moment, and having an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on-site could be the difference between life and death. We are raising funds to provide our local masjid with an AED machine and the necessary training for our community members to use it effectively.

Your generous donation will ensure that our masjid is equipped to respond to a sudden cardiac event, keeping our community safe during prayers, events, and gatherings. Together, we can make a life-saving difference.

Donate today and help us protect the lives of our loved ones.

* Examples of Sadaqah *
It can be everything from an act of kindness to a monetary donation. For example, Sadaqah can be a voluntary donation. It can be helping someone in need, giving a smile, or it can even be removing a harmful object from your path. Aqiqah , Fidya and Kaffarah are also examples of Sadaqah.

Some examples include:
Donating money to someone in need Making food for others Teaching Qur’an Smiling at others Watering a plant Taking care of an animal Removing something harmful from someone’s path




* What is Sadaqah *
Sadaqah is the term used to describe a voluntary act of charity that is wide-reaching, for example a form of monetary charity or an act of kindness that can be performed in any amount, at any time of the year.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasised the benefits of giving Sadaqah in a number of sayings:
/“Sadaqah extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire.” /(Tirmidhi)

Therefore, any act of kindness or support extended to other beings (including animals) for the sake of Allah (SWT), can be considered a Sadaqah or charity.
* What does Sadaqah mean *
The literal translation is ‘righteousness’. However, in the modern-day context, it has come to mean ‘voluntary charity’. The word stems from ‘sidq’, which means sincerity. This suggests that Sadaqah is a righteous behaviour, which shows sincerity of faith.

* How Islamic Relief uses your Sadaqah donations *
For many of the world’s most vulnerable, your donations are a lifeline.

When you provide a Sadaqah donation to Islamic Relief, you can change the future of an orphan in need. Through your vital donations, they are provided with a way home to food, shelter, an education, and a chance at a brighter future.

* The Impact of your Sadaqah Donations *
Giving Sadaqah can help provide crucial medical care that people facing the effects of war and crisis can seek relief in. For example our brothers and sisters in Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria and Palestine.

They also provide livelihoods to thousands of people and communities. This helps to break the poverty cycle and lifting individuals in need into wellbeing.

Your Sadaqah donations are simply transformative.

* What is the difference between Sadaqah and Sadaqah Jariyah? *
Essentially, Sadaqah Jariyah is what today’s international development sector calls ‘sustainable development’. Islam promoted this over 1400 years ago. Sadaqah Jariyah encompasses the majority of the sustainable development programmes carried out by both Islamic and other NGOs today.

* What are the benefits of Sadaqah? *
Sadaqah is a voluntary act of charity given for the sole purpose of pleasing Allah (SWT), without expecting anything in return.
We know that Prophet Muhammad ﷻ was  very generous. He (ﷻ) would give his food, money, and belongings to the poor and often let himself go hungry. In summary, the Prophet Muhammad  ﷻ  had impeccable character. Therefore, it is an immense reward in following his exemplary behaviour.

* Why is Sadaqah important in Islam? *
Sadaqah not only purifies one’s own wealth, but also helps to establish economic stability through the flow of wealth in society. Through the good deed of giving, Muslims are bonded together. Therefore, Muslims are instructed by Allah (SWT) to try to give for His sake and spread generosity.
