From a historical perspective, we cannot deny the importance Waqfs, or endowments, have played in building and sustaining Muslim societies. Some of the greatest Muslim intellects were the products of the support that comes from a community-supported Waqf.
House of Wisdom seeks to revive the legacy of Awqaf through its Research Grants Program. 100% of the monetary donations that are made towards House of Wisdom will be used to fund Research Grants for decades to come to allow for academic research and intellectual endeavors that will further the cause of Islam.
Each Research Grant sponsorship consists of a minimum of $5,000. Research grants will be named after the sponsoring organization or individual. Grant recipients will be finalized only after consulting with the sponsoring organization/individual.
Frequently Asked Questions:
