Guide · Sadaqa
What sadaqa means in practice, and why it helps to track it.
Sadaqa refers to voluntary charity and generosity. For many Muslims, the challenge is not understanding the value of sadaqa but staying consistent enough to remember and build upon it.
TL;DR
Sadaqa is voluntary charity rather than obligatory zakat.
It can be frequent, small, and easy to lose track of.
Tracking sadaqa can support both consistency and intention.
Sadaqa and zakat are related, but not the same
Zakat is an obligation with defined rules. Sadaqa is broader and more flexible, which is why many people benefit from a simple tracker that helps them stay more intentional about it.
Why people benefit from tracking voluntary charity
A tracker can help surface patterns, support better habits, and prevent your giving from being reduced to disconnected one-off moments.
