For every cent means saving a precious life.
The practice of a Waqaf is highly encouraged by Allah s.w.t. The verses that promote charity work are mentioned by Allah s.w.t. not less than 37 times in the Qur'an such as in Surah Al-Maidah, Al-Haj, Al-Baqarah, Al-Imran and Al- Thaqabun. The fundamental purpose of man practicing Waqaf is to do good and to draw one closer to Allah s.w.t.
Waqaf is a charity that is prescribed in Islam and has become a practice among the companions of the Messenger of Allah s.w.t. Some examples of Waqaf done by the companions were: Saidina Ali r.a who had landed his land and home in Egypt, Abu Talha r.a. surrendered his beloved gardens, Umar, Saad, Arqun, Abu Bakr and Zubair r.a. handed their houses in Mecca and Medina to the Trust.
Waqaf institution is an alternative that can be used as a source of funding in various areas. By returning and restoring the institution of Waqaf; it can help in the development of the Muslims life such as in the economy, social, politics, education, business, defence, agriculture, religion, science and technology areas. People will be more independent without expecting government assistance.
An example is the poor poverty issue which is a common phenomenon among the people in Islamic countries. Waqaf institutions function and serve as social security in providing basic facilities to meet the socio-economic needs of society. Resources and acquisition of Waqaf property can channel to the needs of those who need to be funded by necessities such as food, clothing, shelter and treatment requirements. These social guarantees can make in the form of livelihoods, capital raising,
development or construction of infrastructure that can encourage them to work towards a perfect life enhancement.
Thus, let's us work towards becoming a contributing member of the Muslim community!!
