Waqf

"Waqf" is an Islamic financial term referring to an endowment made by a Muslim to a religious, educational, or charitable cause. It involves donating a building, plot of land, or other assets for Muslim religious or charitable purposes with no intention of reclaiming the assets. The concept is to provide perpetual charity (Sadaqah Jariyah) for the benefit of the community.

The assets in a waqf are usually held in trust and managed on behalf of the beneficiaries according to the wishes of the donor. The income generated from the waqf property can be used to maintain mosques, schools, hospitals, and other public welfare projects. This practice is deeply rooted in Islamic law and tradition, reflecting the value of continuous charity in Islam.

The slogan "Sow to grow, blessings flow" encapsulates the idea that by nurturing and investing in something meaningful—like a waqf or charitable endowment—we enable a continuous stream of benefits and blessings to flow from it. Here's a breakdown:

"Sow to grow" suggests an action or contribution aimed at nurturing, developing, or increasing something valuable. In the context of a waqf, it refers to the act of donating or supporting the endowment, helping it to grow in size, scope, or impact.

"Blessings flow" is often understood not just in material returns but in spiritual and communal benefits. The flow of blessings is continuous and reaches beyond the immediate recipients to positively affect the wider community.
