Description :

'The Wonders of Waqf' contains selected chapters from the book Rawa'i min Hadaratina (Glorious Aspects of our Civilisation) by Mustafa as-Siba'i.

Waqf is a means of drawing nearer to Allah. It is an act of worship. Waqf shows the sincerity of the endower’s faith, his desire for goodness and his avidity for the interests of the Muslims. It shows his love for them and for their subsequent generations, as he is keen for them to receive benefits that are never interrupted.

Since the time of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, the Muslims have provided the most sublime examples in the fields of waqf.
