صدقہ جاریہ پانی کا کنواں — پاکستان میں ہینڈ پمپ عطیہ کریں

A sadaqah jariyah water well is one of the most powerful gifts you can give. The Prophet ﷺ was asked which charity carries the greatest reward, and he answered: water — so a companion dug a well for his community. Every single person, animal and crop that drinks from your water well sadaqah jariyah adds a reward to your account, for years after you are gone. IRT Welfare Foundation installs hand pumps and solar-powered wells in poor villages across Pakistan and sends you photos of your completed well.

صدقہ جاریہ پانی کا کنواں سب سے افضل ہدیہ ہے۔ آپ کے کنویں سے پانی پینے والے ہر شخص اور جانور کا اجر آپ کے نامے میں جاری رہتا ہے۔ آئی آر ٹی ویلفیئر فاؤنڈیشن پاکستان کے غریب گاؤں میں ہینڈ پمپ اور سولر پمپ لگاتی ہے اور آپ کو تصویریں بھیجتی ہے۔

Why a water well sadaqah jariyah never stops giving

Normal charity is spent once. A water well sadaqah jariyah keeps working every single day: children no longer walk kilometres for dirty water, women are safer, livestock survives the summer, and families can grow small crops. For as long as the well flows, the donor keeps receiving reward — even while sleeping. That is why the sadaqah jariyah water well is called the gift that never stops giving.

صدقہ جاریہ پانی کا کنواں ہر روز کام کرتا رہتا ہے: بچوں کو دور پانی لانے کی ضرورت نہیں رہتی، مویشی زندہ رہتے ہیں اور فصلیں اگتی ہیں۔ جب تک کنواں جاری ہے، عطیہ دینے والے کا اجر جاری رہتا ہے۔

Sadaqah jariyah for parents — a gift for your mother and father

The most moving use of this charity is sadaqah jariyah for parents. The Prophet ﷺ told Sa'd ibn Ubadah that the best charity for his late mother was water — so Sa'd dug a well and made it a sadaqah jariyah for parents who had passed away. If your mother or father has died, a sadaqah jariyah water well in their name is one of the few gifts that can still reach them. And if they are alive, you can share the reward with them by giving it together.

صدقہ جاریہ والدین کے لیے سب سے بہترین ہدیہ ہے۔ حضور ﷺ نے سعد بن عبادہ رضی اللہ عنہ کو بتایا کہ ان کی وفات پا چکی والدہ کے لیے افضل صدقہ پانی ہے، تو انہوں نے کنواں کھدوایا۔ اگر آپ کی والدین فوت ہو گئی ہیں تو ان کے نام سے صدقہ جاریہ پانی کا کنواں ان تک پہنچ سکتا ہے۔
