“The Believers Shade On The Day Of Resurrection Will Be His Sadaqah”
(Hadith Tirmidhi)
What We Do
The MCB is committed to tackling social injustice in all its forms, national advocacy being a cross-cutting theme in all its works. The MCB works with its affiliates, civil society partners, and decision-makers to create a positive difference for British Muslim communities.
MCB seeks to work for the common good, to build a just and cohesive society for all. We work hard to represent, advocate for and capacity-build Muslim communities for a stronger, fairer, more sustainable future. Our work is not just for today, but for the benefit of British Muslims and UK communities into tomorrow.
What Is Sadaqah?
Sadaqah is a voluntary charitable act towards another being, which is highly emphasised in Islam as it carries great rewards and brings numerous benefits. It is the concept of giving charity voluntarily ‘fi sabillilah’ (for the cause of Allah).
These acts are not necessarily physical or monetary. Sadaqah is not judged by how big or small it is, but on how it helps people and how regularly it is done. It is not an obligation like Zakat, but instead, a practice performed to cleanse your soul, ward off calamities and put your heart and mind at ease. Good deeds as simple as a smile, or a helping hand can be Sadaqah.
A number of sayings of the Prophet (SAW) emphasise the benefits of giving Sadaqah.
“Sadaqah extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire.” [Tirmidhi].
“The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity.” [Tirmidhi] Sadaqah can be used for any project or programme which is of benefit to people.

What Is Sadaqah Jariyah?
Another important concept within Islam is the idea of Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity – benefit not just in the short term but the long term).
The Prophet (SAW) said: “When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuing charity, beneficial knowledge and a child who prays for them.” [Muslim].
Allah tells us in the Qur’an that the reward of spending in charity is like:
“A grain of corn which grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains” [Qur’an, 2:261]
Therefore, we encourage you to give Sadaqah regularly to the MCB in your name or the name of a loved ones and reap it’s rewards!
