WMS Beneficiaries

Contributions to Wakaf Masyarakat Singapura (WMS) will be pooled and invested. The proceeds from these investments will then be distributed to identified beneficiaries when the need arises.

By indicating a mosque as your Wakaf beneficiary, you help to:

Promote the mosque’s longevity by footing expenses incurred in the enhancement and enlargement of the mosque building and premises, among others

Sustain the administration and management of the mosque

Preserve the observance of Islamic rites and ceremonies

With madrasahs as a Wakaf beneficiary, the income generated help to:

Perpetuate Islamic education by sponsoring the education of our future religious leaders

Sustain madrasahs through funding their maintenance and upkeep so that students can enjoy a conducive and comfortable learning environment

Bolster the financial resilience of madrasahs by providing a sustainable source of income to pay for their key educational programmes and operations

Wakafs can provide financial assistance to Muslim organisations and community help groups running programmes to assist the poor, needy, and the vulnerable

This may be through financing of burial costs, provision of necessities, or medical services

Traditional wakaf may also benefit relatives of the wakifs throughout generations with a portion of the income

Promote the mosque’s longevity by footing expenses incurred in the enhancement and enlargement of the mosque building and premises, among others

Sustain the administration and management of the mosque

Preserve the observance of Islamic rites and ceremonies

Why do we need WMS and how is it different from other funds

Existing community funds are currently stretched to meet the immediate needs of running our institutions. Mosque Building and Mendaki Fund (MBMF) and mosque donation box contributions are projected over time to decline as our population ages.

Wakaf generates long-term returns, complementing existing community funds such as MBMF and mosque donation boxes.
