‘This means donation of property in the name of Allah’
Amit Shah said, ‘Waqf is an Arabic word. The history of Waqf is found associated with some hadiths and nowadays in the sense in which Waqf is used, it means donation of property in the name of Allah, donation of property for holy religious objectives. The contemporary meaning of Waqf came into existence at the time of Omar, the second Khalifa of Islam. In a way, in today’s language, Waqf is a type of charitable enrollment. Where a person donates property, land for religious and social good, without taking it back. ‘
‘Donation can only be done for the thing that is ours’
Shah said, ‘The donation that gives it is very important. Donation can only be made for what is ours, I cannot donate government property, I cannot donate someone else’s property. ‘ He said that if this was not done in 2013, this amendment bill would not have been required to bring this amendment bill. The Modi government is being accused that it is scaring the people, while the truth is that the Congress and its allies are scaring people for the vote bank. He said, “There is no need to fear people of any community.”
