What does Hindi mean Hindi?
The Waqf Amendment Bill is under discussion in the Lok Sabha. During this time, Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the Lok Sabha said that there will be no non -Islamic people in Waqf. But the Waqf Board and the Council are different. Meanwhile, let us tell you what Waqf means in Hindi. Please tell that Waqf means stopping or dedicating in Hindi. It is an Arabic word that is used in the Islamic context. The real meaning of Waqf is to donate something, such as the land, house or property in the name of Allah, so that the people of the society can get the benefit. Waqf’s property can neither be sold nor distributed, as well as these assets cannot be used for personal benefits.

By the way, there is no mention of any word like Waqf in Quran Sharif. However, words like Zakat, Sadka have been discussed in Islamic religious texts. A similar word is Jakat e Sadka. Waqf is based on the ideas of this zakat e Sadka. On the other hand, if we talk about the origin of the word Waqf, then the word Waqf is originated from the Arabic word Wakufa, which means stopping, holding or tying. Going into history, it is known that Khalifa Umar bought a piece of land in Khyber and then asked Prophet Mohammed how it can be best used?
History of Waqf
In response to this question, Prophet Mohammed said, ‘Use the property for dams and human welfare and it should not be made a subject of gift or inheritance. Dedicate the yield produced from this land in the path of your children, your relatives, poor and Allah. ‘ That is, in easy language, it is called Waqf to dedicate movable or real estate by a person who believes in Islam or permanently dedicated for any purpose recognized by Muslim law. Let us know that this Waqf is being discussed in the Lok Sabha today.
