Awqaf
SA congratulates the Muslim Lawyers Association at its launch in
Johannesburg
"The ideals
of the new must find articulation by you as Muslim lawyers. In the pursuit
of justice, throughout your legal practice, you must express with freshness
and energy the deepest and most fateful aspirations of your Islamic custom.
The contribution and resilience displayed by credible lawyers of the Muslim
faith in Southern Africa has been and should continue to be: honest,
dedicated, mature, and stable." extract from Justice Mahomed Jajbhay's
speech at the launch.

"The good custom of waqf is one of the honors of Islam and amongst the effective ways to help fulfilling the material and spiritual requirements of society. For hundreds of years benevolent endowers have been allocating a part of their property for ongoing services in society in the form of waqf. Waqf is considered as the most significant sense of benevolence, prodigality, alms, co-operation, and lasting righteous deeds. It is the origin of enormous scientific, cultural, and artistic, as well as welfare and hygiene services in the society. Best proof for this claim is hundreds of clinics, hospitals, schools, orphan asylums, libraries, and thousands of mosques, subterranean canals, bridges, underground water tanks, and so on in Islamic and even non-Islamic countries which must be continuously used and protected."
