Sifatedhardy (talk) 09:08, 21 July 2013 (UTC) Just to let you know. If you want to get an android app on sadaqah. Go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadaqah_the_android_app[reply]

Reference to Muhammad by his name[edit]

It will help if we can uniformly refer to Muhammad by name in the article; there are non-Muslim readers who may not immediately understand who "the prophet of Islam" is. For clarification purposes. Foreignshore (talk) 00:39, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Foreignshore: Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for the clarification. --Mhhossein ^talk 18:41, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

The word "almsgiving" that is used as a translation in parenthesis is not supported in the wikipedia article that is linked in for tsedaka. Interestingly enough, if you transliterate the word according to its alphabetic transliteration, you do get S d Q . See http://www.jewfaq.org/tzedakah.htm and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsade (which notes the relation between the Hebrew letter and the Arabic Ṣād ص). The article here might link in to this wikipedia article. MichelleInSanMarcos (talk) 07:14, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
