  Some gifts end the moment you give them. Others never stop.

  What if yours was the kind that never stops — carrying your name, or the name of someone you love, for generations to come?

  In Islamic tradition, Waqf represent one of the most powerful forms of continuous reward, a gift whose blessings keep multiplying long after you're gone. Today, a modern tool called the Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) makes this legacy possible in a fully halal way.

  
  

  Speakers:

  Hash Assad: Senior Wealth Advisor, Assad Wealth Management

  Shaykh Navaid Aziz: Imam and Educator

  
  

  What we'll cover:

  • The history of Waqf in Islam
  • Sadaqah Jariyah, and why some deeds keep earning reward forever

  • What a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

  • How a DAF works, step by step
  • How giving can also mean reducing your tax burden (personally or corporately)
  • How we ensure every dollar invested in your DAF stays fully halal
  • How to build a legacy fund in your name, or in memory of someone you love

  Your Donor-Advised Fund can be named to reflect your values or honor loved ones. Here are some examples to inspire you: 

  • The Ibrahim Family Legacy Fund

  • Mansoor Family Foundation

  • The Noor al-Hayat Generosity Fund

  • The Barakah Family Endowment

  • The Rahman Family Giving Circle

  Your legacy doesn't have to end with you.
