Waqf General Authority: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Imams managing local mosque endowments can access regulatory guidance and investment support through the Waqf General Authority.

The Waqf General Authority provides oversight and assistance for managing endowments, which are assets dedicated to religious or charitable purposes. This scheme offers support to those responsible for overseeing these assets within local mosques to ensure they are managed according to proper regulations.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for Imams who are responsible for managing local mosque endowments. It serves as a resource for religious professionals who need to navigate the administrative side of managing mosque assets alongside their other religious duties.

What you get

Participants receive regulatory guidance to help them manage mosque assets correctly. The authority also provides investment support, which is intended to help manage and grow the resources tied to the mosque's endowments.

What it costs you

To participate in the scheme, you must provide the legal documentation of the endowment. This ensures that the assets being managed are properly identified and officially recognized.

The catch to know

You should be aware that there are strict reporting requirements for all endowment funds. This means that regular and thorough documentation of all funds related to the endowment must be maintained and reported.

How to apply

  1. Ensure you have the necessary legal documentation for the mosque endowment ready.
  2. Prepare to meet the reporting requirements for all funds associated with the endowment.
  3. Access the official portal to begin the process and seek guidance.
