Dr. Zuhili's Introduction
Islamic Waqf in Kentucky
God Almighty said: “You will not attain righteousness until you spend what you love.” Al-Imran / 72, and the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “If the son of Adam dies, his work will be interrupted except from three: a current charity, a knowledge that will benefit him, and a good son who will pray for him.” Narrated Muslim and others.
The endowment is the most important ongoing charity for reward in life and after death, and the Islamic endowment has performed glorious actions for Muslims, outweighing what the House of Money and the state treasury provided socially, scientifically, intellectually and humanely.
Waqf: is the preservation of money and other assets and distributing its benefits to the deserving entities.
The good news for Muslims in Louisville and Kentucky is the revival of the endowment work, to open the way for everyone in charitable works to donate all kinds of money, large and small, from cash, furniture, cars, homes, shops and real estate, immediately or by will, and accepting advice, while providing assistance to brothers and sisters in establishing the complete legal Will for them.
This endowment aims to provide financial support and assistance to mosques, schools and centers, and to students and education, the poor, the sick, the refugees, and the new Muslims in this City and State in particular.
The endowment organizers plan to invest the funds they receive, and collect them, by legitimate means, and resolve to establish Islamic investment projects in partnership with the owners of the funds, businesses, workers, families, and youth who cannot find work.
The administration is run by: Sheikh Muhammad Al-Zuhaili, Imam Muhammad Abu Al-Nur, Dr. Mahmoud Al-Samman, Dr. Ahmed Al-Malkawi, businessman Khaled Awad, merchant Mustafa Abu Shuimah, and Imam Sheikh Wasef, with the cooperation of all brothers, and consulting with them.
The institution was officially approved by the state, and it has a phone …, an email …, a bank account … and a website … to start work with the blessed Eid Al-Adha 1441 AH / August 2020 AD, and we ask God for help and payment, and we invite brothers and sisters to contribute and participation, because God Almighty said: “And they cooperated in righteousness and piety.” Sura Ma’ida 2.
God is the guardian of success.
