Waqf al-Masarif (funding endowment)

Waqf al-Masarif, or funding endowment, is a noble Islamic practice where a person or organization dedicates assets—such as money, property, or resources—to be used for charitable purposes permanently. Once established, the endowment's income is used to fund community projects like schools, hospitals, or social services, ensuring ongoing support without depleting the original assets. This mechanism provides a sustainable way to promote social welfare, education, and religious activities, reinforcing community development and beneficence over time through dedicated, managed resources.
