How it works
When you donate a waqf share today, it is pooled in a Sharia-compliant fund. After one year from your donation, you’ll have provided a family food parcel to last the entire month of Ramadan.
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 through our waqf donations, and we aim to continue purchasing one asset per year.

“The Prophet ﷺ was the most generous of all the people, and he used to become more generous in Ramadan when Gabriel met him. Gabriel used to meet him every night during Ramadan to revise the Qur’an with him. Allah’s Messenger ﷺ then used to be more generous than the fast wind.”
([Sahih al-Bukhari]
Why direct your waqf to Ramadan iftars?
Good deeds in the month of Ramadan are multiplied many times over, and providing iftar to a fasting person brings the same reward as the person fasting.
Every single night of Ramadan, for the rest of your life and beyond, you can reap the benefit of extra fasts. Donate a waqf share to iftars and next Ramadan, you’ll provide 2 families of 5 with food parcels to last them the whole month. In 10 years, you’ll provide 25 families. In 100 years, you’ll have provided 349 families and your waqf is still growing.
It’s impossible to calculate the immense reward, but Allah’s generosity is endless. May you be among those to reap His blessings this Ramadan, and every Ramadan.
