Waqf On Behalf of Others


Remembering your loved ones

It is reported by Bukhari that a man approached the Prophet (pbuh) and said:

“My mother died suddenly, and I think if she had spoken [before dying] she would have given something in charity. If I give charity on her behalf, will she get the reward? He [the Prophet] replied, “Yes.”

One of the best tributes you can make to a loved one who has passed away is to give towards an ongoing charity. Why not get friends and family involved by asking them to give towards the purchase of one or more Waqf shares on behalf of the person you have lost, or set up a regular monthly donation to be used specifically on Waqf related projects?

Or you could simply make a charitable donation to the Waqf Support Fund in the months of Rajab,Sha’ban and Ramadan when special importance is given to remembering deceased relatives and friends.

Make it a special day to Remember
If you’re celebrating a special occasion such as the birth of a child or a wedding, why not consider asking your friends and family to contribute towards the Waqf Future Fund in lieu of conventional gifts?

Did you know?
The best gift to send the deceased is ‘freeing a slave’, giving in charity, asking forgiveness for him or her, and making Hajj (pilgrimage) on his or her behalf.

The profits generated from the Waqf gift could be used to sponsor an orphan, built a school or provide clean water and sanitation facilities to the neediest communities. It’s the perfect way to ask your guests to support a cause close to you with the added advantage that it ensures the rewards continue well into the future.
