Endowment Fund

As relayed in Sahih Muslim:
‍“If a human dies, then his good deeds stop except for three: a sadaqa jariah (perpetual charity), a beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.”

‍Our Endowment Fund campaign ensures the continuity of our services and helps in the realization of our vision. In creating this Islamically compliant investment fund, we are using the concept of “waqf” or a charitable endowment. In early history of the Muslim civilization, charitable endowments were created to support masjids, schools, hospitals, orphanages, etc.
