What is Health & Nutrition Waqf

When you donate a Health & Nutrition Waqf Share, your full contribution is pooled with those of other generous donors, we then invest the total pooled amount in a low-risk, Sharia-compliant manner. The returns from this investment are then used to fund health and nutrition projects around the world. But the impact doesn't stop there. A portion of the returns is reinvested, ensuring the perpetual effect of Waqf meaning your donation continues to make a positive difference indefinitely, providing improved health and nutrition to communities in need for generations to come.

Other Health & Nutrition Waqf Projects

This hospital was established in Cairo in 682 AH, and was distinguished by its precision and extreme care for its patients. It provided healthcare and treatment for both rich and poor, old and young, the free and the enslaved. The Bimaristan was divided into four main sections: fever, ophthalmia, surgery and gynaecology.

The traveller Ibn Battuta emphasised the inability of one to describe the virtues of this place, since:

Each patient had their own bed, and there was a team of doctors, pharmacists, and staff to manage their treatment and comfort.
The Bimaristan also contained a large kitchen for preparing food and special recipes to contribute to the speedy recovery of patients.
After the patient was discharged, they were given a grant and clothing.
A medical school was attached to the Bimaristan to teach the foundations of medicine and qualify students to practise this noble profession.

A medical school attached to Al-Mustansiriya School:

This Waqf stipulated that doctors and their students should visit the corridors of Al-Mustansiriya School every morning to treat its patients and provide them with medicine, as well as paying monthly salaries to medical students.
Bimaristan ibn Tulun

Established by Ahmad Ibn Tulun in the year 259 AH, this establishment was also known as “Al-Bimaristan Al-Atiq”, meaning The Old Hospital.
As a Waqf, its founder dedicated to it the revenues of the Diwan House, other houses, and a market. It had two public baths attached to it whose proceeds were also spent on the hospital.
Patients received exceptional care and attention, and were provided with medication and food appropriate to their condition until they recovered.
Bimaristan Al Nuri

This 1,300-bed hospital was established by Nur al-Din Mahmud in Damascus in the year 543 AH, who designated it to the poor.
However due to the high level of knowledge and expertise at the hospital, and its possession of rare medicines unavailable elsewhere, the hospital was also often frequented by the wealthy.
King Nur al-Din also granted the hospital's doctors an endowment of scientific books in the fields of medicine and a pharmacy for teaching medicine and training doctors.
Some of the most famous Arab doctors worked there, includes Ibn al-Nafis and Ibn Abi Usaybia.
