  Waqf   has always been meant to help the community by   providing education ,   healthcare ,   housing , and   support   for the poor. However, problems like mismanagement, corruption, and inefficiency have often prevented Waqf properties from benefiting those who need them most.

With  mandatory financial audits  and  digital records , this change will reduce corruption and make Waqf management more accountable to the people. The bill ensures that Waqf properties and ...

  Introduction What is Waqf The concept of ‘ Waqf ’ is rooted in Islamic laws and traditions. It refers to an endowment made by a Muslim for charitable or religious purposes, such as building mosques, schools, hospitals, or other public institutions.

In 2013, there were 10,381 pending cases which have now increased to 21,618 cases. Irrational power of the Waqf Boards in de...
