Provide sustainable support for Islamic burials through shariah-compliant Waqf investments
Waqf Foundation invests all donations in shariah compliant investments, ensuring your original donation remains. On a yearly basis the funds generated from the investment will be allocated to your chosen fund and then used for that particular cause.
The original donation remains and continues to grow, generating further funds on a year to year basis – the true essence of waqf.
The aim of the burial fund is to support the burial costs of:
- Local Muslim families who don’t have the financial means to fund their funeral costs (shrouding, funeral director costs, burial ground).
- A deceased who has no known next of kin that can support their burial costs.
- Following local authority referral of a new Muslim who requires an Islamic burial.
All cases will be assessed and then direct support given to registered funeral directors in a robust and transparent process.
