This paper reviews the concept of welfare, sadaqah, and the application of e-Sadaqah Jariah in Malaysia. Welfare is defined as a situation of a good life for an individual or society as a whole. As a religion of rahmatan lil alamin (blessing for all), Islam provides various ways to tackle the situation. One of the solutions for the poor and have-nots is sadaqah (charity) or sadaqah Jariah (ceaseless charity), a voluntary deed recommended for all Muslims. Nowadays, due to the advanced technology, especially in the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0, the usage of online charity, popularly known as e-Sadaqah is more popular than the traditional form. The objectives of this study have twofold. Firstly, is to discuss and reemphasize the importance of sadaqah jariah. Secondly, it is to clarify how to mobilize e-Sadaqah Jariah in uplifting the less fortunate in the present society.
