For hundreds of years, Wakaf has benefited communities all over the world. The concept of Wakaf is important for the population to thrive during challenging times as well as for benefits to accrue to segments of society in need, ensuring shared growth and economic prosperity.
When a Muslim dedicates a property to Allah S.W.T, they declare that the property will be used for religious and charitable purposes as recognised by Shariah. Once a piece of property is given to charity, the owner ceases all claim to it because it is said to belong only to Allah. As the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned: “When a person dies, his deeds are cut off except for three; continuing Sadaqah, knowledge that others benefited from, and a righteous son who supplicates for him/her.”
