From asking to giving
Building resources instead of waiting for them
The plan turns Awqaf from dormant assets into productive resources, from managing needs to building capacity, and from temporary giving to sustainable returns. Investment is not a separate financial goal; it is a means of safeguarding entrusted assets and serving faith, people and society.
Plan structure
Two connected tracks for Awqaf development
The plan combines major Directorate-led investments with local initiatives that help mosque committees build reliable income.
