AWQAF conducted an informative and engaging session for students aimed at enhancing their understanding of its historical significance, institutional role, and core values. The session was designed to educate students about the vital contributions of AWQAF in preserving Islamic heritage, promoting ethical values, and supporting community development within Qatar. Through this initiative, students gained meaningful insights into how AWQAF plays a key role in strengthening social responsibility, cultural identity, and moral awareness among future generations.
The session began with an overview of the historical background of AWQAF, highlighting its origins and evolution over time. Students were introduced to the concept of waqf (endowment) and its importance in Islamic civilization as a sustainable system for supporting education, healthcare, social welfare, and religious institutions. The presenters explained how AWQAF has historically contributed to the development of societies by ensuring the continuity of charitable initiatives and public services, emphasizing its long-standing commitment to community well-being.
In addition to its historical foundations, the session focused on the core values that guide AWQAF’s mission and operations. These values include integrity, transparency, responsibility, compassion, and service to the community. Students were encouraged to reflect on how these principles are not only central to AWQAF’s work but are also essential values that can be applied in their personal lives, academic pursuits, and future careers. Real-life examples and case studies were shared to demonstrate how these values are put into practice through various programs and initiatives..
