About the conference

Waqf is among the greatest charitable endowments Islam brought. It joins sincere worship with a noble worldly purpose: an act of nearness to Allah and a benefit to people. It has long been a firm institution for supporting good, caring for those in need, building society, and directing wealth towards righteous causes.

For this reason the General Authority of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs of the State of Libya is holding this conference: a scholarly forum that brings together researchers and specialists from across the Muslim world to study Islamic waqf in Libya, explore how it can grow and be invested, and show its importance to society's progress and future.

Verses on waqf

Verses (in Arabic) on the virtue of waqf and its mission, the work of the Awqaf Authority, and the Albir platform.

الحمدُ للهِ ربِّ العرشِ مُكرِمِناوالصَّلاةُ على الهادي الذي عَلَّمَا

وبعدُ، فالوقفُ بابُ الخيرِ مُنفتِحٌيُحيي القلوبَ ويُبقي النفعَ مُغتنَمَا

في ليبيا الخيرِ قامت هيئةٌ شَرُفَتْبالعلمِ والرأيِ والإحسانِ قد سَمَا

تسعى لتنميةِ الأوقافِ مُجتهدةًوتحفظُ المالَ من ضياعٍ قد عَظُمَا

وتستثمرُ الخيرَ في أرضٍ مباركةٍحتى يُرى الوقفُ للأجيالِ مُزدهِرَا

واليومَ مؤتمرُنا الدوليُّ يجمعُناأهلَ البحوثِ وأهلَ الفضلِ والعُلَمَا

خمسٌ من الدوراتِ قد أزهتْ مسيرتَهاوالخامسُ اليومَ يزدادُ الهدى عَظَمَا

جاؤوا من الأرضِ في شوقٍ وفي هِمَمٍكي يرفعوا الوقفَ للأمجادِ مُعتَصِمَا

ومنصةُ البرِّ إشراقٌ لمسيرتِناتُحيي التبرُّعَ والإحسانَ والنِّعَمَا

تجمعُ أهلَ العطاءِ اليومَ في ثقةٍوتفتحُ الخيرَ للأفرادِ مُغتنَمَا

فيها التبرُّعُ يبقى أثرُهُ أبدًاويستمرُّ نفعُهُ في الناسِ مُنتظَمَا

هي نافذةٌ للخيرِ قد فُتِحَتْلتجعلَ البرَّ في الأوطانِ مُلتزَمَا

رقميَّةٌ جمعتْ أبوابَ مكرمةٍوصاغتِ الوقفَ في مستقبلٍ سَمَا

A Libyan model of digital waqf

A digital waqf platform launched by the General Authority of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs so that individuals and institutions can support and grow waqf projects through an institutional channel grounded in waqf legislation. Its name comes from the verse “You will never attain righteousness (al-birr) until you spend from what you love.”

Albir is part of the conference's fourth axis as a working Libyan model of digital transformation in waqf management and investment.
