Sadaqah Tracker

Sadaqah is one of the most rewarding and accessible acts of worship in Islam. It can be as small as a smile or as big as building a school. But many of us forget how much we give, or how often we miss the opportunity to give altogether.

That is where a Sadaqah Tracker comes in. It helps you stay mindful, build consistency, and see your progress over time. Whether you give daily, weekly, or occasionally, tracking your Sadaqah can turn a habit into a legacy.

Why Track Your Sadaqah?

Sadaqah is not just financial. It includes your time, your kindness, your help, your prayers, and your words. Every act of goodness counts.

Keeping track of your giving helps you:

• Build a habit of daily generosity
• Reflect on your intentions
• Stay connected to causes you care about
• Make Sadaqah part of your lifestyle
• Share impact reports with your family
• Stay consistent during blessed months like Ramadhan

Even the Prophet ﷺ preferred small, regular deeds over large but rare ones.

“The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are consistent, even if they are small.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, 6464)

What to Track

Your Sadaqah Tracker should include more than just money. Here is a list of things you can track and log:

✅ Monetary Sadaqah

• Cash donations
• Online giving
• Direct help to families or individuals
• Standing orders to charities
• Sadaqah Jariyah projects (e.g. wells, Qur’an donations)
• Zakat contributions (for full picture)

✅ Non-Monetary Sadaqah

• Smiling at someone intentionally
• Making dua for someone else
• Helping someone without being asked
• Visiting the sick
• Sharing Islamic reminders online
• Feeding animals or planting a tree
• Teaching something beneficial
• Picking up litter or removing harm

Sadaqah Tracker for Children

Teaching children the habit of giving is one of the best gifts you can give them. You can:

• Create a simple sticker chart or calendar
• Let them drop coins into a Sadaqah jar daily
• Read stories about kindness and charity
• Involve them in choosing which cause to support
• Make it a family event once a week

This builds empathy and love for giving from a young age.

Islamic Quote to Reflect On

“Charity extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire.”
(Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 614)

Track your charity like you track your prayers and earnings. It will help you see just how rich you already are in the sight of Allah.
