Enjoin what is right and just and forbid what is wrong, evil and unjust. And loan to Allah a beautiful loan. (Qur’an)
When a person dies all good actions come to an end except three (a) continuous charity, (b) beneficial knowledge, and (c) pious children who pray for the deceased. (Hadith)
NIYAH
Being cognisant of the concerns of Muslims and the Poor in South Africa, my duty to Allah, to the Muslim ummah, and to humanity, and having realised the need: (a) to empower Muslim, poor, and disadvantaged communities, and (b) to contribute meaningfully to nation-building and poverty alleviation in post-apartheid South Africa, I do hereby declare and make my niyah to establish a waqf by this waqfiyyah solely for the pleasure of Allah.
