Why do Muslims give Sadaqah Jariyah ?

Muslims give Sadaqah Jariyah because helping the less fortunate is an important part of Islamic teachings. 

Sadaqah Jariyah offers lasting impact, potentially helping people for generations, thereby allowing you to earn continuous rewards from Allah (swt) even after your passing.

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuous charity), or knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him’.

(Muslim)
