• "The waqf is a system that stems from the idea of institutionalizing voluntary giving in order to guarantee sustainability.“
• "Of the good deeds of a person who dies, the following continue after his/her death: teaching knowledge, irrigating land, digging a well, planting fruit trees, building a mosque, leaving behind a Qur’an they have copied out, and bringing up a child who prays for forgiveness for his/her parent.”
- Hadith of the Prophet (s), recorded in the Sahih of Bukhari and on the mimbar of the mosque in the waqf complex founded in 1228-1231 by Ahmed Shah and Turan Melek in Turkey.

• Waqf: (pl: Awqaf/waqfs) • Literally means to stop, contain, or to
preserve. • In shari'ah, a Waqf is a voluntary, permanent,
irrevocable dedication of a portion of ones wealth – in cash or kind – to Allah.
• Once a waqf, it never gets gifted, inherited, or sold. It belongs to Allah and the corpus of the waqf always remains intact.
• The fruits of the waqf may be utilised for any shari'ah compliant purpose.
