The forum, themed \u201cEmerging Issues and Sharia Foundations,\u201d was organized by Kuwait\u2019s General Secretariat of Awqaf in partnership with the International Islamic Charitable Organization and Turkey\u2019s Directorate of Religious Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>The event\u2019s opening session saw strong participation from scholars, researchers, and representatives from sponsoring organizations and the Turkish government. In his keynote speech, Dr. Al-Qaradaghi underscored the transformative role of Islamic endowments (awqaf) in the history of Islamic civilization. He highlighted the broad range of waqf initiatives\u2014across education, social services, development, and healthcare\u2014that have been pivotal in advancing Islamic societies. According to Dr. Al-Qaradaghi, 67 distinct forms of waqf are recognized, demonstrating its vital role as a cornerstone of Islamic progress.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Al-Qaradaghi praised Kuwait\u2019s sustained commitment to reviving and modernizing the waqf institution, especially through the efforts of the General Secretariat of Awqaf since its founding in 1993. The Secretariat has pioneered initiatives that enhance the impact and management of awqaf, including organizing the Fiqh Waqf Forum, now in its 11th edition.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded his address by extending gratitude to Dr. Khaled Al-Madhkur and the forum\u2019s organizing committee.
