At its core, a Waqf is about preserving the gift and using its returns to serve the community. Here’s how it works for our masjid:
When you donate — whether it’s cash, property, land, or a portion of business profits — it becomes part of a permanent endowment fund dedicated to Allah (ﷻ).
Cash is invested in halal, income-producing ventures.
Property & land are rented or developed, generating ongoing income.
Business shares allow a percentage of profits to go toward the Waqf every year.
The original asset is never spent — only its returns are used, so your gift keeps working for generations.
The returns from the Waqf fund our core priorities, including:
Education – Weekend madrassa, Qur’an programs, youth mentorship, Islamic scholarships.
Facilities & Recreation – Expanding prayer spaces, classrooms, recreation areas, parking, and accessibility.
Social Services – Food distribution, emergency aid, mental health support, and a masjid-operated funeral home.
Operations – Staff salaries, utilities, and ongoing program costs so services remain uninterrupted.
Because the original donation remains intact and benefits keep flowing, your contribution is sadaqah jāriyah — ongoing charity. Every prayer in the masjid, every child learning Qur’an, every family supported — you share in the reward for as long as the Waqf exists.
