 What is WAQF?

A Waqf is a voluntary, permanent, irrevocable dedication of a portion of one’s wealth – in cash or kind – to Allah (SWT) and is often offered as a charity.
Land and buildings have frequently been given as Waqf, and used to build schools, hospitals and mosques, amongst other functions to benefit the community. SANZAF accepts monetary donations as Waqf, investing the money by for example, purchasing property or doing renovations to a masjid to benefit society.

Why WAQF

Waqf strengthens SANZAF’s long-term sustainability. Designated contributions are invested so the benefit continues — supporting programmes beyond immediate relief.

How we build the fund

  • Campaign linkages: Portions of Qurbani proceeds were channelled to the SANZAF Waqf Fund, extending benefit well beyond distribution week.
  • Compliance & credibility: SANZAF operates as a registered PBO and issues Section 18A certificates for qualifying donations — reinforcing trust in how your gift is handled.

What your Waqf enables

Stable, ring-fenced support for education, development and welfare priorities — helping communities move from aid to independence.
