Introduction
The Divine and Prophetic institution of Waqf has been part of and ingrained in Islamic History, Shariah, Civilisation, and Culture.
The Muslim world is replete with iconic humanitarian service infrastructure ranging from Masajid, Schools, Universities, Libraries, Hospitals, Clinics, Homes for the Elderly, Orphans, and Destitute; Roads, Bridges, Cemeteries, Agricultural Farms, Nature Reserves, pavements, state and community security, water canals, … and the list goes on… whatever the community needed, the Waqf system provided. But what about the sustainability of these institutions and infrastructure?
How were the upkeep of these institutions funded? From where were staff paid ? Who paid for the scholars that searched relentlessly for answers and solutions to vexing questions in religion, science, technology, medicine, engineering, astronomy, geography, history, etc? The answer is simple: It was the waqf system – peoples generosity and a deep understanding of this unique system of Islamic solidarity. The waqf system ensured that that there were commercial waqfs that funded and subsidized the infrastructure and institutions. A completely voluntary system of Capital Giving in the way of Allah.
Awqaf SA together with its partners, the Islamic Research and Training Institute (IRTI) (member of the Islamic Development Bank Group, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) are committed to strengthening the knowledge base of the communities regarding this most important pillar Islamic Finance – both economic and social.

Letter of Endorsement
The United Ulama Council of South Africa (UUCSA) extends it compliments to Awqaf SA for hosting the 5th Southern African Waqf training workshop scheduled to take place between the 27th & 29th October 2017. One of the key objectives of the workshop is to provide a framework for social cohesion, community development, poverty elimination, and empowerment through the creation of waqf. The need for continuous promotion of waqf and interrelated training is indispensable for the long term financial sustainability of projects given the ever increasing decline in disposable income.
May Allah accept the untiring efforts of AWQAF SA.
