About WZWF
The World Zakat and Waqf Forum (WZWF) is a global platform advancing the Zakat and Waqf movement as dynamic twin instruments for social justice and economic empowerment. Initiated in 2007 in Malaysia, WZWF held its first Annual Meeting and International Conference in 2010, marking the formalisation of a collaborative movement dedicated to strengthening Islamic social finance globally.
Represented by institutional and individual members from 43 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, and America, WZWF convenes and synergises stakeholders from diverse economic
contexts—spanning high-income to low-income nations—with a shared mission to uplift the Ummah and eradicate poverty through collaborative innovation, strategic policy, and impactful
action.
United by a common purpose, WZWF is committed to equipping and empowering its members to address evolving socio-economic and humanitarian challenges, while shaping a resilient and inclusive future for Islamic social finance.
