Introduction to Awqaf SA
"Awqaf
has a vitally important contemporary role to play and the Muslim community
should be made aware that this organization’s role is deeply rooted in the
ethos, history, and edifice of Islam and Muslims. It is nothing less than a
religious calling." Fuad Hendricks
Awqaf SA™
was pioneered in 2000 as an independent community-based and owned trust,
dedicated to the establishment of the institution of Waqf and the empowerment of
communities. Step into a new world of philanthropy...a way of giving steeped in
history and benevolence.
Awqaf SA is a charitable endowment (waqf) receiving
organization. It invests endowment funds and spends only the income generated
from investments to fund a variety of community development projects and
programmes promoting Integrated Community Development and Self-Reliance.
