The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are among the most spiritually powerful days of the year. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
“There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.”
(Bukhari)
This period offers a rare chance to plant seeds of goodness that grow far beyond the season. While many give Qurbani, fast, or give sadaqah during these days, few realise the long-term power of giving Waqf—a form of perpetual charity that continues to benefit others, and reward you, long after these blessed days have passed.
Understanding Waqf: Beyond Temporary Giving
Waqf is an enduring form of Islamic charity. Unlike one-time donations, Waqf is preserved and invested, with the proceeds directed to causes that serve people every year. It’s a strategic model rooted in Islamic tradition that enables you to build systems of good that continue working for generations.
Giving Waqf in Dhul Hijjah transforms your spiritual intent into an asset that never stops giving. It aligns perfectly with the elevated value of good deeds in this season.
“When a person dies, their deeds end except for three: a continuous charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.” (Muslim)
One Gift. Continuous Benefit.
Here’s how Waqf compares to one-time giving:
| One-Time Donation | Waqf Endowment |
|---|---|
| Immediate use | Long-term investment |
| Short-lived impact | Sustainable change |
| One-time reward | Ongoing reward (Sadaqah Jariyah) |
While regular donations offer instant help, Waqf creates self-sustaining systems—feeding, educating, and healing continuously.
