Sadaqah Jariyah — ongoing charity

Land & Grounds
Grounds maintenance, water, fencing, and roadwork that keep the cemetery dignified year-round.
Grave Care
Mound upkeep and markers for individual graves — a continuing Sadaqah Jariyah on behalf of the deceased.

Converting one of the existing buildings into a dedicated prayer hall and mosque space for Jummah, daily prayers, and community gatherings.
