What is Umraty Waqfy?

Umraty Waqfy is a unique initiative by Awqaf NZ that links the sacred Umrah ritual with the Islamic tradition of Waqf. It allows individuals to contribute to lasting community development while performing their pilgrimage.

What is Cash Waqf?

Cash Waqf is a monetary endowment used to:

• Provide Qard Hasan (interest-free loans) for projects like farms supplying Qurbani livestock.

• Generate income through investments to fund essential community needs such as housing or education.

How does Umraty Waqfy work?
