The Arabic word ‘Sadaqah’ (صدقة) comes from the root word "ṣidq" (صدق), which means truth, sincerity, or honesty.

According to Penny Appeal USA, Sadaqah refers to voluntary charity that is given sincerely for the sake of Allah (SWT). It reflects a person’s true faith and sincerity, as giving to others in need is seen as a sign of a truthful and generous heart.

In Islam, Sadaqah is not limited to money—it includes any act of kindness, such as a smile, helping someone, or sharing knowledge. It is given freely, unlike Zakat which is obligatory.
