Waquf
A Waquf (or Wakf) is a charitable endowment in Islamic tradition, where a person dedicates a property—such as land, building, or other assets—for religious, educational, or social purposes. Once designated as Waquf, the property’s income or use is preserved for its intended charitable cause, often permanently. The goal is to serve the community, support mosques, schools, or other welfare activities, ensuring the assets are used responsibly and sustainably over time. It’s a way for individuals to contribute to ongoing social and religious benefit beyond their lifetime.
