Reviving the Legacy of Waqf. Transforming the Future of Humanity.
A global platform for strengthening waqf governance, unlocking the potential of endowed assets, mobilising sustainable capital, and advancing lasting social and economic development.
A Timeless Institution for a New Era
For centuries, waqf has served as one of the Islamic world's enduring mechanisms for supporting education, healthcare, social welfare, community infrastructure, and economic development. Through the dedication of productive assets for lasting public benefit, generations of communities have been served by an institution founded on faith, stewardship, and continuity.
Today, waqf has the potential to play an even greater role in addressing the world's most pressing development challenges.
Vision & Mission
Our Vision
A world in which waqf institutions are trusted, professionally governed, financially sustainable, technologically enabled, and recognised as important contributors to inclusive and intergenerational development.
Our Mission
To strengthen the global waqf ecosystem through governance reform, institutional capacity building, digital innovation, responsible capital mobilisation, and international cooperation, while safeguarding the principles of Shariah, perpetuity, accountability, and public benefit.
A Stronger Global Waqf Ecosystem
Three complementary areas of work to help preserve endowed assets, strengthen institutions, and expand sustainable public benefit.
Model Waqf Law Framework
A comparative framework to support the study, development, and modernisation of waqf legal systems, addressing establishment, registration, administration, asset protection, investment, supervision, and cross-border cooperation.
Waqf Digitisation Framework
A proposed digital transformation framework to help waqf institutions modernise asset registries, management systems, financial reporting, governance records, and impact monitoring through secure and interoperable digital solutions.
Global Waqf Governance Standards
A proposed global reference model to support stronger waqf governance, institutional accountability, transparency, risk management, and professional asset stewardship while respecting Shariah principles and national regulatory requirements.
