From download to legally registered waqf in 4 steps
Access your country-specific legal and financial kit from the Research Center library. All kits are open-access and free to download.
Each kit includes guidance on finding and working with a local lawyer. We recommend a single review session to adapt the template to your specific situation.
Use the regulatory filing pack to submit your application to the relevant government body. Pre-filled forms save weeks of administrative work.
Once legally established, register your waqf on the platform to begin receiving contributions from the global Muslim community.
The Research Center operates as a waqf of knowledge (waqf 'ilmi) — funded exclusively by the WaqfChain Support Waqf. All research output is freely available to the entire ummah in perpetuity. No paywalls. No subscriptions.
