Printing and distributing copies of the Qur'an and books of remembrance is considered an ongoing charity ( jariyah) that benefits a Muslim after their death, based on the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, among the good deeds and merits that will reach a believer after his death are knowledge he taught and disseminated, a righteous child he left behind, or a Mus'haf (copy of the Qur'an) he bequeathed..." This indicates that disseminating copies of the Qur'an, books of remembrance, and religious knowledge is an ongoing charity.
