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.
