Include A Continuous Charity in Your Islamic Will: A Legacy of Sadaqah Jariyah
In Islam, giving Sadaqah Jariyah—charity that benefits others long after it’s given—is one of the most powerful forms of lasting impact. Including A Continuous Charity (ACC) in your Islamic Will is a meaningful way to ensure your legacy supports higher education for generations to come. By designating ACC as a beneficiary, you can provide a continuous source of funding to help students pursue interest-free education, a gift that will keep giving for years to come.
Why Include ACC in Your Will?
The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, “When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.” Supporting ACC through your Islamic Will allows you to fulfill this noble teaching by empowering future generations of students to access knowledge and pursue their dreams debt-free.
How to Include ACC in Your Islamic Will
According to Islamic principles, you can dedicate up to one-third of your estate to charitable causes. Including ACC in your will is simple and can make a transformative impact on countless students’ lives:
1
Consult with an Islamic Scholar or Legal Advisor:
For guidance in structuring your Islamic Will, speak to a qualified scholar or attorney to ensure your wishes align with Islamic teachings. You can email ACC at [email protected] and our team will help you with this process.

Specify the Bequest:
In your will, indicate the percentage or amount (up to one-third of your estate) that you wish to allocate to A Continuous Charity. This bequest can be in the form of cash, securities, or other assets.
