Waqf Fund — Perpetual Endowment

Build Something
That Lasts Forever

A Waqf Fund is not just a donation — it is a living endowment. Your contribution sustains Taqwa Institute's mission across generations, funding education, scholarship, youth leadership, community care, and outreach.

"When a servant of Allah dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah, beneficial knowledge, and a righteous child who prays for him."
— Sahih Muslim

A River That Flows After You Are Gone

The trees you plant, you may never sit beneath their shade.
The wells you dig, you may never drink from.
But those who come after you will know your name —
not carved in stone, but woven into every du'a they make.

A Waqf Fund is your river. It flows on, long after you return to your Lord.

Understanding Waqf Fund

What Is a Waqf Fund?

An Islamic endowment — wealth set aside solely for the sake of Allah, generating benefit in perpetuity. It cannot be sold, inherited, or diverted.

🔒

Permanent

Principal is preserved forever. The benefit flows continuously — never depleted, always giving.

🌊

Flowing Reward

Sadaqah Jariyah that earns you reward even after death — every student taught, every family helped.

🌍

Community-Owned

Not charity for the needy — infrastructure for the whole Ummah, built and maintained by those who care.

1,000 Sustainers at £250/year = a legacy that outlasts us all.
