The mentioned deeds are considered ongoing charity ( jariyah) for which a servant is rewarded if their intention is sincere for Allah. These are among the things that benefit a believer from their deeds and good actions after their death, as stated in the noble prophetic tradition: "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, a copy of the Qur'an he bequeathed, a mosque he built, a house he built for a traveler, a river he caused to flow, or charity he gave from his wealth during his health and life; it will reach him after his death."
