How it works

The Waqf Fund uses a common Sharia-compliant model that makes waqf accessible for all today. Most people can’t donate a hospital or university. Our model allows you to donate a share for £100 – or as many shares as you wish – to create a large-scale waqf with other donors.

How it works

The journey of your donation

Let’s say you donate £100 to a sector of your choice – for example, water projects.

£90 is invested into a property, £10 is used to deliver and maintain your donation.

Every year, 80% of the profit that your donation brought is given to a water project. 10% is reinvested into another property (which will start its own thread of income and blessings), and 10% is used to maintain and deliver your charity. All investments are sharia compliant and we never use interest (riba).

We share annual reports, performance updates, and you can track your donations and real-world impact through your account section.

That’s it, every year your donation increases as a part of the profit is reinvested, and the vast majority provides water to vulnerable people.

Report

We report your waqf back to you

What’s that 10% maintenance?

One of the conditions of waqf is that a trustee ensures its maintenance. 10% of the initial donation and profit allows us to keep our work transparent, to the highest standard, and in line with all Islamic and legal codes. It ensures our projects are safe, our investments are sustainable, and that your waqf continues to grow and benefit people for years to come — even after you pass away.

But! If our Waqf Support Fund has enough reserves to cover our admin costs, we waive the admin fee and reinvest the 10% admin back into the property. Our admin costs allow us to implement your waqf and to sustain this sunnah.

Transparency

All of our investments are reviewed by an independent Investment Committee, a board of specialists and scholars of Islamic finance and investment. All our investments are low risk, stable, insured assets in the UK.
