Awqaf organizations
Awqaf organizations are charitable endowments in Islamic tradition, where individuals donate property, money, or assets for religious, educational, social, or community purposes. These assets are intended to generate ongoing benefits, such as funding mosques, schools, or healthcare services, with the principal kept intact. Managed by specialized organizations, Awqaf ensures the assets are used according to the donor’s intent, providing sustainable support to beneficiaries over time. They play a vital role in promoting social welfare, education, and religious life within Muslim communities.
