The CEO Desk .
A waqf is a legal document that sets aside certain property or resources for the purpose of a perpetual endowment. Literally meaning ‘still’ or ‘unmoving’ it is a declaration by an individual, always written, that a certain possession (be it money, land or property) would be held in perpetuity, as a trust, to be used for the betterment of the community. Thus, throughout the Muslim world, individuals donated their property and their possessions to be used to build places of worship and centres of education, to provide health-care, to facilitate trade, to fund and maintain sabils (structures that provided free water to the public), to create inns which housed pilgrims and to provide a range of institutions for the protection of the weak and needy. The institutionalisation of waqf provided a means for the community to upkeep collectively its obligation to uphold the ethics of compassion and care.
Our Objectives .
The conference would bring in a network pool of great Islamic diplomat contributors specifically in the development of WAQF. Their contributions to this field are unparalleled and the conference will be of great impact in line with the overall objective of developing a Global WAQF Development object to drive the transformation of the economic and social integration of the Muslim Ummah.
