A LEGACY OF LOVE, A GIFT LIFE AND DUAS

On the 24th of May 2025, a profound act of charity unfolded in Kati Subvillage, Isunura Village, Mawindi Ward, Mbarali District, Mbeya Region, as Well No. 821 was officially handed over to the community. This life-giving source of clean water now benefits 220 families daily, serving approximately 1,540 people who had previously struggled with access to safe and reliable water.

This well was lovingly donated by Dr. Shaukat Hussein in blessed memory of his beloved Bhabhi Banubai Jaffer and his brother Mohamed Jaffer. As per the rich teachings of the Ahlul Bayt (a.s.), Sadaqah Jariyah — ongoing charity — is among the most noble deeds a believer can perform for the thawab (reward) of marhumeen. In donating this well, Dr. Shaukat has given the gift of life, dignity, and sustainability to an entire community while offering a continuous stream of reward for his dear departed loved ones.

“When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity), knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for them. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w)

This sacred act aligns deeply with the spirit of the Holy Qur’an, where Allah (SWT) promises:
“And whoever saves a life, it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.”
(Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:32)

Through this well, the memory of Banubai Jaffer and Mohamed Jaffer is honored with every drop of water that quenches thirst, every crop that is nourished, and every child who grows up healthy and strong. Their names will be remembered in the duas of villagers and in the whispers of grateful hearts.

On behalf of the beneficiaries and the wider community, we extend heartfelt prayers:

“May Allah (SWT) grant Banubai Jaffer and Mohamed Jaffer the highest stations in Jannah al-Firdaus, fill their graves with Noor, and continue to bless their souls with the thawab of this beautiful sadaqah. Ameen Ya Rabb al-Alameen.”

Let this generous donation be a shining example for others. In a world of fleeting wealth, the only true investment is what we give in the way of Allah.

May their legacy continue to inspire us all to dig deeper into our pockets, our compassion, and our faith.
