About Sadaqah

No lifetime is enough to give back to Allah (SWT) for all His blessings. But when writing your will, you could gift Allah (SWT) a beautiful loan, that will keep on giving for His pleasure.

Sadaqah and Sadaqah Jariyah gifts in Wills are the life force of our life-saving work. They’ve enabled us to give hope through healing to Pakistan’s poorest in their time of greatest need. And yet, a gift in your Will doesn’t just benefit others. It can also have tax benefits for your loved ones.

‘The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “It is the duty of a Muslim who has anything to bequest not to let two nights pass without writing a Will about it.”

(Al-Bukhari)

Why Include IKCA in Your Will

Leaving even a small fraction of your estate to IKCA, as a Sadaqah or Sadaqah Jariyah gift, can make a massive difference for the cancer patients we care for. No amount is too little when it comes to helping those in need, and IKCA is grateful for every penny donated to our work.

What Your Sadaqah Jariyah Legacy Can Achieve

For decades, we’ve been investing Sadaqah Jariyah into healthcare projects which serve our patients and provide ongoing rewards for our donors. Sadaqah Jariyah has allowed us to build two cancer hospitals that have treated, cured and saved thousands of people. It has made free cancer care for the poor a reality, in a country with no national health service.

About Sadaqah

There are different kinds of legacy gifts you can leave to IKCA in your Will. Here we’ve outlined a few.

---

A Sum of Money

Many people prefer to gift a fixed sum of money, like £1000, £5000, or £10,000. This is called a Pecuniary Legacy.

---

An Item or Asset

A gift in your will doesn’t have to be monetary. You can also gift specific assets such as property, stocks, and shares of valuables like jewellery or antiques. This is called a Specific Legacy.

---

A Share of Your Estate

Once your wealth has been divided and distributed, you may want to leave what remains of it, or even just a percentage of what remains, as a gift. This is called a Residuary Legacy.

When to Give Sadaqah

Sadaqah can be given at any time. Many people give in moments of gratitude, on special occasions, or when praying for relief during difficulty, illness, or bereavement.

“Charity does not, in any way, decrease the wealth and the servant who forgives, Allah adds to his respect.”
