Shia Waqf Board

The Shia Waqf Board is an organization in India that manages and oversees properties and charitable assets donated for religious and social purposes by the Shia Muslim community. "Waqf" refers to a system where land or assets are dedicated for public benefit, often for educational, religious, or community services. The board ensures these properties are maintained and used according to the donors' wishes. It plays a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage and serving the community's spiritual needs, similar to other religious endowment boards for different faiths.
