INSPIRATION FROM 25 YEARS OF WAQAF AN-NUR

The 25-year journey of Waqaf An-Nur Corporation Berhad (WANCorp) marks a monumental milestone in the evolution of corporate waqf in Malaysia. Established under Johor Corporation (JCorp), two and a half decades of Waqaf An-Nur prove that Islamic philanthropic instruments can be managed professionally, dynamically, and with direct socioeconomic impact for all segments of society.

Pioneering Accessible Healthcare and Social Welfare Waqaf An-Nur’s most defining achievement is its network of Waqaf An-Nur Clinics and Hospital nationwide. Through this model, high-quality medical services and dialysis treatments are provided at highly subsidized rates. The health and dignity of the B40 low-income group and asnaf are protected through dedicated, long-term care.

An Innovative Corporate Waqf Model Waqaf An-Nur serves as a beacon of inspiration through its successful integration of corporate shares and commercial assets into the waqf ecosystem. This breakthrough proved that waqf is not confined to physical land or buildings; it can function as an equity holder in commercial enterprises, returning its dividends to uplift the community.

Inspiration for Campus Philanthropic Institutions The 25th anniversary of Waqaf An-Nur sends a clear message to other philanthropic bodies, including WAZAN UPM: long-term sustainability requires strong governance, continuous innovation, and an unwavering commitment to societal well-being. This legacy stands as undeniable proof that corporate waqf is a viable engine for social justice and economic sustainability.
