Waqf can empower youths, society

LAST month, I was inspired after attending a forum on waqf. When I was a child, to me, the term waqf referred to a covered seating space in school where we’d wait for our parents to pick us up. My knowledge of waqf was then limited to the building of mosques or Qurans donated by well-wishing members of the public.

I have since found out that waqf is much more than that.
