It is a highly revered act when waqf funds are used in building mosques, madrasahs, orphanages, colleges and universities as well as for providing free medical services for needy Muslims. Waqf can also offer Islamic financial facilities to the deserving. Waqf is considered as an indispensable institution for the socio-economic upliftment of the Bangsomoro people.
