How it works
When you donate a waqf share today, it is pooled in a Sharia-compliant fund. Within one year of your donation, your waqf share generates profits that go towards general charity projects. We purchase an asset that will provide profit, but even before your asset is purchased, your waqf share gets to work. Since our inception in 2023, we’ve purchased two properties and we aim to continue purchasing.
