قال تعالى : ( آَمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَأَنْفِقُوا مِمَّا جَعَلَكُمْ مُسْتَخْلَفِينَ فِيهِ فَالَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَأَنْفَقُوا لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ) الحديد / 7 .254 .
Assalam alikum wa rahmtu Allah, All praise is due to Allah, who has graciously favored many of His servants by granting them success to spend from what He has provided them, in His cause and in seeking His pleasure. Indeed, He, Glorified be He, has made what they give a light for them and a means of deliverance from hardships. Then, in His bounty, He further increased them by making certain forms of charity of a kind whose reward continues even after death, and is multiplied for the servant until the Day of Resurrection without interruption.
The Prophet ﷺ said: ( إِذَا مَاتَ الْإِنْسَانُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ : إِلَّا مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ ، أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ ، أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ ) Narrated by Muslim
Ongoing charity (Sadaqah jariyah) is that whose reward continues even after a person’s death. For this reason, many scholars have given it a specific application in the form of waqf.
So how great is the reward when the waqf is dedicated to teaching people sacred knowledge—this is among the most virtuous of acts of devotion, the greatest in reward, and among the most enduring in benefit.
Today, you are presented with a great opportunity and a wide-open door to attain these three forms of ongoing reward and lasting impact. This is precisely what Wafer Waqf has sought to provide for you—through an endowment whose proceeds support one of the largest free initiatives for teaching Islamic sciences to Muslims around the world in multiple languages: the ZAD Academy Program.
It is a form of ongoing charity that, by the will of Allah, will continue to yield reward, with its returns dedicated to spreading Islamic knowledge freely to millions of Muslims across the globe.
Your support for this waqf makes you a partner in the reward of operating more than five educational platforms in major world languages, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and others.
High-quality educational initiatives are among the greatest drivers of the advancement and progress of nations, and removing ignorance from people is one of the greatest causes of success and true prosperity—both in this life and the Hereafter.
Why is Waafr Waqf considered such a valuable opportunity for those who contribute to it?
A global initiative for teaching the Islamic sciences, launched over a decade ago, whose impact now reaches millions of Muslims around the world. Participants engage in a structured, professionally developed educational program that has been translated into several major languages, including English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
The project also provides a satellite TV channel that broadcasts all program lectures worldwide in multiple languages. In addition, it offers advanced e-learning platforms that utilize the latest technologies for remote education, designed to accommodate an unlimited number of participants from around the world.
The program also serves a group that is especially close to our hearts: your brothers who have embraced Islam but have not yet found a comprehensive source to learn it. The ZAD Academy Program provides them with a wonderful, free, and interactive opportunity in a professional and accessible learning environment.
