Think Long Term. Think Sustainable Development.
Make a Waqf. Leave a Legacy. Empower Communities.
The institution of Waqf has contributed tremendously to the development of the Muslim Ummah over the ages. Our Masajid, Madressahs, Schools, Universities, Hospitals, Libraries, Water canals, Dams, – even pavements, roads and bridges came from Awqaf that generous donors made centuries ago. Amazing waqfs were made for sick and old animals, poor newly wed couples, poor brides, supporting hujjaaj, gifts for children on special occasions such as Eid, guest houses for travellers, research and scholarships.
Waqfs were made for the support of imams, teachers, researchers, .. and the list goes on.
In a world where Islamic Civilization has lost so much through colonisation and corrupt leaders, today we have a wonderful opportunity: Reviving our lost heritage. Reviving the great prophetic and divine institution of Waqf or Sadaqah Jaryiyah.
Awqaf SA was established to revive this great institution. Over the years since its inception, Awqaf SA have, through the generous waqf donations made by ordinary people – men, women, young, old (even pensioners), professionals, and business people – been involved in several community development projects and programmes. From youth leadership development to publication of books; from contributing to mosques and madressahs to providing scholarships to young leaders; from poverty alleviation programmes (such as the MSA Humanitarian programme) to education programmes such as Tuition upgrade programmes for disadvantaged kids; from establishing food gardens and planting trees to greening mosques… and our latest initiative of establishing a frail care service in partnership with the Islamic Medical Association along with sponsoring cataract operations for the poor and needy and providing an annual health check at the Bosmont Pre Ramadaan Fete. In the pipeline is a community housing project in Marlboro South … in the heart of Alexandra township and an Islamic home for the elderly and youth.
Again, these and more, would not happen without the waqf donations that have been steadily growing from the community.
This Ramadaan, let us once again commit to reviving our lost heritage. Revive the institution of Waqf. More benefit for more people. Over Time your waqf works for you – your eternal fountain of thawaab.
