Islam , the religion of all prophets sent to humanity and all Allah creations calls upon its followers to reach out to all mankind and all God Creations with open hands, heart and give in charity with sincerity for the sole pleasure of Allah. In the Quran, the last final message revealed to prophet Muhammad , charity is often mentioned along with prayer as one of the factors that identifies true believers. In addition, the Quran frequently uses the words “regular charity,” so charity is best as an ongoing and consistent activity, not just a one-off here and there for a special cause. Charity should be part and parcel of every Muslim
The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); knowledge which is beneficial; or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (the deceased).” [Sahih Muslim]
“His deeds come to an end” means that he/she is not able to perform any deeds any more and therefore does not receive reward for actions anymore. But there are three categories of actions for which he/she can receive reward even after death.
First, Sadaqah Jariyah: This is any good deed done from which people continue to benefit despite the demise of the person who originated it. For example, the establishment of a madrassa or masjid from which people are rightly guided will be sadaqah jariya for the person who established it. Having a well dug or a shade or fruit tree planted will also accrue good deeds for a person, as long as the well or tree benefits people.
Second, “knowledge which is beneficial” means knowledge imparted verbally or by any other means through which people become better Muslims. As long as people benefit from this knowledge, the teacher will receive reward for it.
A third source of reward is having virtuous descendants. Training of children on the right lines and then making dua for them to be among the righteous is essential, so that after a person's death they continue to pray for him or her. The prayer of righteous children in favour of parents is very useful.
Needless to say all such deeds have to be done with sincerity (ikhlas) in seeking the pleasure of Allah (subhana wa ta’ala). Only when they are done to earn Allah’s pleasure will they be rewarded by Him. If they are done for fame, monetary gain, or any other worldly benefit, then the outcome one achieves in this world is all that they will get for it.

الأوقاف الخيرية التي تعود نفعها للانسانية الأحياء منهم وكذا الأموات. لك فيما رواه البزار في مسنده من حديث أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : (( سبع يجري للعبد أجرهن وهو في قبره بعد موته :من عَلّم علماً, أو أجرى نهراً , أو حفر بئراً , أو غرس نخلاً , أو بنى مسجداً , أو ورّث مصحفاً , أو ترك ولداً يستغفر له بعد موته )) وسار علي ذلك الخلفاء والصالحون والامراء. هارون الرشيد في بلاد الشام ينشأ المستشفيات وكذا السلطان قلاووون. في مصر. ويوسف بن يعقوب في بلاد المغرب العربي وصلاح الذين يحل أزمة لبن الأطفال يجعل في قلعته صنبورا ن احدهما للبن الأطفال والآخر للماء المصاف له السكر. فتأخذ الأمهات مايحتاجنه من لبن أطفالهن. دراسة اجريت في الغرب لو طبق الوقف الخيري. لساعد في إنقاذ البلاد من اَي الأزمات
