Water well as Sadaqah Jariyah for Nani

Help us fund for one or more wells as a form of Sadaqah Jariyah for our beloved Nani.

‘The best Sadaqah is giving water (to drink).’

[Ahmad]

Providing water in this way is a very good way of offering a Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity) as the donor can expect to reap Allah’s blessings for as long as the well supplies water.

When the early Muslim’s migrated from Mecca to Medina, there was a severe water shortage. There was only one sweet water well known as ‘The Well of Rauma’, owned by a Jew who charged astronomical prices for water. The Prophet (SAWS) promised paradise to whoever bought the well and dedicated it to the believers. After many negotiations with the owner, Uthman Ibn Affan (R.A) bought the well for a hefty price of 35,000 dirhams and made the water free for all Muslims.

The well continues to pump water till this day, over 1400 years later. Due to the abundance of water the surrounding area has become fertile and developed into a farm of over 1550 palm trees producing the highest quality dates.
