Three deeds that outlive you

Wednesday, December 3, 2025

إِذَا مَاتَ ابْنُ آدَمَ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ: صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ، أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ، أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ
Transliteration

Idha mata-bnu Adama-nqata'a anhu amaluhu illa min thalath: sadaqatin jariyah, aw ilmin yuntafa'u bih, aw waladin salihin yad'u lah.

Translation

When the son of Adam dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: an ongoing charity, knowledge people benefit from, and a righteous child who supplicates for him.

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah·Sahih Muslim 1631
Reflection

The three things still earning while you sleep, and after you stop. A water pump, a book, a praying child. Plant at least one.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
