We are building a national endowment for the country. A charitable endowment focussed on making a stronger more united civil society. An endowment that is managed by industry professionals and with a spirit that responds to the needs of the faith and the faithful.

The Islamic tradition pioneered the development of civil society institutions, building universities, hospitals, parks and social empowerment vehicles for centuries. In recent times these contributions have become a distant memory. The 1ET is committed to reviving this tradition, and empowering Muslims in this country to work together for a brighter future.
Uthman Ibn Affan, (May God Be Pleased With Him) established the first endowment in Madinah to serve the needs of Islam and the companions. His endowment continues and until today is flourishing. This example inspires us, and today we are seeking to build a robust financial ecosystem that seeks to do justice to this illustrious example.
We are committed to enabling us all to have an endowment.
Why Are Waqf Based Endowments Important for Us?
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuous charity such as a Waqf endowment), or knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him’. (Muslim)
We will be launching our full site soon, where you can learn more about how a Waqf based endowment is the ultimate Sadaqah Jariyah, as it is the type of giving, that never ends.
We have brought together industry leaders from finance and philanthropy for a truly unique leadership proposition.
With a best-in-class investment committee we are dedicated to achieving long term sustainable growth for our members and the causes they feel strongly about.
We have created a dedicated platform to manage the needs of all those committed to building the country’s largest community endowment, www.waqfinity.com
Waqfinity is the world’s first digital waqf platform, enabling individuals, businesses and foundations alike to establish their own charitable endowments that are connected for a national vision for a brighter and more unified civil society.

Things You Need to Know
What is A Waqf Endowment?
A Waqf based endowment is the structure used by 1ET to ensure our members deliver the most impactful Sadaqah Jaariyah (Ongoing charity). Using the charitable infrastructure of an endowment, we have created a Trust which raises capital and manages it for our members. We generate profits, and then use them to strengthen civil society through investing in great causes we have agreed with our members. Our leadership team and its advisors have experience of managing over £300bn for major financial institutions, and now they are bringing this expertise to deliver a community endowment upon the example of our beloved Prophet and his companions. These are exciting times, and with our members we are preparing for a brighter future.
