If someone has nothing to give, what will he do?\u201d He (PBUH) said, \u201cHe should work with his hands and benefit himself and also give in charity (from what he earns).\u201d The people further asked, \u201cIf he cannot do even that?\u201d He (PBUH) replied, \u201cThen he should help the needy who appeal for help.\u201d Then the people asked, \u201cIf he cannot do that?\u201d He (PBUH) replied, \u201cThen he should perform all that is good and keep away from all that is evil and this will be regarded as charitable deeds.\u201d (Bukhari)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Apart from the above, other aspects of Sadaqah include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qurantutor.com\">dhikr (remembrance) of our Creator, smiling, embracing righteousness and preventing wickedness, guiding other people, removing harmful objects from passageway, pouring water for other human beings and helping a blind human being<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1427 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ethis.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Types-of-Sadaqah-1-871x1024.jpg\" alt=\"types of sadaqah\" width=\"871\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethis.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Types-of-Sadaqah-1-871x1024.jpg 871w, https:\/\/ethis.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Types-of-Sadaqah-1-255x300.jpg 255w, https:\/\/ethis.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Types-of-Sadaqah-1-768x902.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source: Author\u2019s Own<\/p>\n<p>Sadaqah is also hugely emphasized in other religions. Although they may have their own interpretations of Sadaqah, eventually it all lead to one ultimate goal: to help people in need. On a more positive note, equality will be achieved and society\u2019s social welfare will be taken care of through acts of Sadaqah. In addition, Sadaqah serves to purify one\u2019s wealth and helps to establish a flow of wealth in the society. Overall, with appropriate distribution of wealth, economic stability will be achieved.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Global_Sadaqah_%E2%80%93_Helping_out_the_Poor_and_Others_in_a_State_of_Need\"><\/span><strong>3) Global Sadaqah \u2013 Helping out the Poor and Others in a State of Need <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As at December 2017, the world\u2019s population was estimated to have reached <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/World_population\">7.6 billion<\/a>. But unfortunately, nearly 1\/2 of the world&#8217;s population (more than&nbsp;3 billion people)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dosomething.org\/us\/facts\/11-facts-about-global-poverty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">live on less than $2.50 a day, and more than&nbsp;1.3 billion&nbsp;people live in extreme poverty at less than $1.25 a day<\/a>.&nbsp;More upsettingly, 1 billion&nbsp;children worldwide are currently living in poverty, and in accordance to UNICEF, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dosomething.org\/us\/facts\/11-facts-about-global-poverty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">22,000 children die each day due to poverty<\/a>. It is noted that billions of people in different parts of the world are presently suffering because of circumstances beyond their control.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, Ethis Ventures is delighted to share our latest noble initiative named \u2018Global Sadaqah\u2019. It is an Ethis Ventures Islamic crowdfunding platform that matches high-impact charity campaigns to savvy donors. Just like its name, through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalsadaqah.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Sadaqah<\/a>, charity will be distributed globally without any forms of restrictions, barriers etc. Areas of charity are segregated into mainly four (4) sections namely general charity, zakat, waqf and others.

Furthermore, with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iuemag.com\/september2016\/di\/be-charitable-without-spreading-yourself-too-thin.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accepted era of lazy generosity<\/a> that we are all part of, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalsadaqah.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Sadaqah<\/a>&nbsp;is seen as an effective platform to help us achieve all of the 5 inspiring secrets of Sadaqah.
