Awqaf honours 38 imams and preachers for promoting waqf

The General Directorate of Endowments at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs in Qatar has honoured 38 imams and preachers for their active participation in the first series of "Ambassadors of Waqf" awareness seminars. These seminars aimed to promote a culture of sustainable giving and highlight the role of endowments in community development.

The recognition acknowledges the imams and preachers' contributions to raising public awareness of waqf, which are Islamic endowments, through sermons, religious lessons, and other forms of community engagement. The first series of seminars benefited nearly 200 imams and preachers and was organised in cooperation with the Department of Mosques.

The programme was conducted through virtual communication platforms to familiarise participants with endowment projects and their various fields. The "Ambassadors of Waqf" initiative was designed to equip religious leaders with knowledge about endowment projects and their beneficiaries, helping them communicate the importance of sustainable charitable giving and translate awareness into meaningful community action.
