Talk:Waqf

message: I think the addition of category Jerusalem's addition needs to be discussed. If anything Jerusalem is waqf (claimed as it at least) not waqf being Jerusalem which would severely limit the scope of waqf and be untrue.  I put this up before reverting because I would like IZAK's comments.  You may want to add something about claims of Jerusalem being waqf land, but the category should go. gren グレン 06:57, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  I have done a little research into what a waqf is, and the portion that you removed for lack of citation seems to be in line with everything I've read over on britannica.com and so forth.  I don't have time to formally edit the article and add proper references and everything, but, had it still been in the article with the appropriate "citation needed" tag, I would have gladly alotted an appropriate source or two.  I believe that's why we are supposed to use the "citation needed" tag rather than outright delete information that we don't know to be true or not.  It seems that this information was removed for some kind of "political" reason.  Anyway, there's my take on it.  I won't fix it but I'm pointing out that removing uncited information should only be done when a quick google search can't confirm that information within 2 minutes of looking.

thread_title: Moved from article

message: From the article:
:Waqf signifies the extinction of the waqf`s ownership in the thing dedicated and detention of all the thing in the implied ownership of God, in such a manner that its profits may revert to or be applied "for the benefit of Mankind
...ok, it's probably not productive to use the word waqf in the definition of waqf. I'm thoroughly confused by this. Can anyone shed some light on the topic? Is the waqf like a trust? Is it the endowment itself? Who typically manages it, an individual or a council? Is it governmental, or a private matter? In what respect is the donation detained? Are there associated limitations or benefits to property being declared waqf, like tax relief or a government stipend? Help! - Eric (talk) 17:37, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusing Definitions 

message: To say that "waqf" is pronounced "'waqf" doesn't really tell us anything.  Is it just pronounced like "whack" with an "f" on the end?  Or "whack - if"?  Or is it "wa-kwif"??  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 01:13, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
