Benefits of Donating a Well

Question: What’s the benefit of donating a well in the name of a deceased family member?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nojan Mirahmadi (QS), donating a well in the name of a deceased family member carries immense benefits. When a well is donated in the name of a deceased loved one, it becomes a continuous charity (sadaqah jariyah) that benefits the deceased person’s soul. The water from the well serves as a source of sustenance for the community, providing clean and safe drinking water for people and animals.

This act of charity not only fulfills a basic human need but also earns ongoing rewards for the deceased in the form of blessings and prayers from those who benefit from the well. It is a means of ongoing charity that continues to benefit the deceased person, even after their passing.

Furthermore, the act of donating a well in the name of a deceased family member is a beautiful way to honor their memory and leave a lasting positive impact on the community. It reflects the spirit of generosity and compassion, and it is a means of seeking the pleasure of Allah (SWT) by contributing to the well-being of others.

May Allah (SWT) accept such noble acts of charity and shower His mercy and blessings upon the deceased and their family. It is a beautiful way to continue the legacy of kindness and generosity, and it serves as a means of ongoing reward and benefit for the deceased in the Hereafter.

May Allah (SWT) grant us all the ability to engage in acts of charity and goodness that bring benefit to others and elevate the status of our deceased loved ones. Ameen.

It’s important to remember that such acts of charity and kindness are a reflection of the beautiful character and compassion that we should strive to embody in our lives. May we all be blessed with the ability to engage in such noble deeds and be of service to others and the Tariqa.
