Awqaf are more than just assets — they are timeless gifts dedicated to serving humanity. Once established, a Waqf can never be sold, transferred, or inherited. Its purpose is fixed: to generate lasting benefit for the community. The very word Waqf in Arabic means “to hold” or “to stop,” symbolizing the powerful act of preserving wealth so it can keep giving, forever.
That’s the beauty of Awqaf: they are permanent, irreversible, and endlessly rewarding. What you dedicate today will continue to uplift lives for generations to come. Each contribution becomes part of a legacy that multiplies in value — not for personal gain, but for the eternal benefit of others.
Awqaf America is here as your trusted custodian. We ensure that your Waqf is protected, nurtured, and used exactly as you intended — creating an enduring stream of good deeds and blessings that never stop. We also collaborate with over 3,348 Islamic centers in the United States & Canada.
