Islamic Trust (Waqf)
An Islamic trust, otherwise known as "waqf" or "waqf al-Islami", is a religious concept in Islamic finance and philanthropy.
Islamic trusts serve as an essential mechanism for philanthropy within the Muslim community, fostering a spirit of generosity and communal responsibility. Unlike conventional trusts, an Islamic trust (waqf) cannot be revoked, ensuring that the donor’s intentions are honored perpetually. The administration of waqf assets is overseen by a mutawalli (trustee), who is responsible for managing the assets and ensuring they are used according to the donor’s wishes.
Waqfs can be established for a specific period or indefinitely, depending on the donor’s objectives. By creating a waqf, individuals contribute to the betterment of society, leaving a legacy that benefits future generations. Additionally, waqf promotes community development and social justice by addressing the needs of the underprivileged.
