AWQAF Africa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AWQAF Africa (also known or referred to as AWQAF) serves all countries of Africa: South, North, West, East, and other territorial geography of the continent including its islands in Pacific, Atlantic, and Mediterranean Seas as well as Caribbea. AWQAF Africa, from time to time, extends its works to all Muslims outside the continent - especially in the Muslim World. AWQAF Africa carries out its projects in all parts of the world - globalizing, as necessary, in the cause of One Human Race under the banner of Islam.

AWQAF Africa is an international organization which is incorporated in its structure with African Union Muslim or AUMuslims working to relieve human suffering amongst the Muslims of Africa - in particular and as a primary objective - and around the world - as necessary. The aim is projected for all nations of the continent, especially, their Muslim societies where each national society effectuates programmes of AWQAF Africa. Relief, human dignity, and spiritual uplift remain main goals of the international body. AWQAF Africa seeks the causes of suffering, poverty, and Islamophobia and tries to eliminate them under the amiable banner of Islam.

AWQAF Africa was founded while studying Postgraduate Degrees in Damascus early 1990's by Sheikh Abdulfattah Abu Abdullah Adelabu (Ph. D. Damas), a West African Muslim scholar and cleric of Nigerian origin who is the international organization's first al Amir (i.e. President).

AWQAF Africa is an independent establishment with a firm principle to stay neutral and distance itself from exploitations by politicians, lobbies from business prominent, or affiliations with military strugglings. AWQAF Africa maintains Jihad or Struggling For The Cause of Islam is a faith as well as a duty, and therefore does not champion any struggling other than that of Islam
