Rules and Guidelines
A guide for safe and effective mutual assistance
For Those Seeking Help
Create requests based on genuine need
The Sawab platform is designed for mutual assistance when a person truly needs support. Please do not use it as a way to save money on services you can afford.
Examples of correct and incorrect requests:
Transportation
Correct: An elderly person cannot get to the hospital on their own, needs help with transportation
Incorrect: I don't want to pay for a taxi, give me a free ride
Physical Help
Correct: A single mother is moving and cannot afford movers
Incorrect: I have money but want to save on the move
Medical Help
Correct: An elderly woman living alone cannot get to the pharmacy for her medication
Incorrect: I don't want to wait in line at the clinic, go for me
Household Services
Correct: A wheelchair user cannot fix a leaking faucet on their own
Incorrect: Too lazy to call a plumber, fix it for free
For Those Who Help
Help selflessly
True help comes from the heart. Sawab points are merely a symbolic reflection of your good deeds, not their purpose.
Don't chase points at your own expense
- Don't lift heavy objects if you're not physically ready
- Don't take on tasks requiring special skills you don't have
- Don't help everyone indiscriminately, depleting your own resources — time, health, finances
- Learn to say 'no' if you feel the request is beyond your capabilities
Remember: it's not about the quantity of deeds, but the quality and sincerity of intention.
Safety Measures
Your safety is a priority. No points are worth risking your well-being.
Inform loved ones about your plans
Always tell relatives or friends where you're going and who you're meeting
Meet in public places
Choose crowded places for first meetings
Trust your intuition
If something seems suspicious, decline the meeting
Don't share personal data
Bank card numbers, passport details, SMS codes
Assess risks objectively
Not everyone acts with good intentions. Stay vigilant
Don't risk your life and health
No points are worth your well-being
The Meaning of Mutual Aid
In our time, many rush to outdo each other in worldly matters — a new car, a trendy smartphone, a renovated apartment. We postpone good deeds 'for later': in childhood — studies, in youth — entertainment, in adulthood — career and family, and charity — someday in old age.
But in old age, there is often neither strength, nor health, nor opportunity left. The Almighty calls us to compete not in accumulating worldly things, but in good deeds.
"So race one another to good deeds"
Sawab points are just a counter. True reward comes with a reasonable approach and sincere intention.
