People say we have to prepare for the afterlife. Is it possible for rewards to flow after death?
Definition and Types of Waqf
Rewards can flow after death by carrying out waqf.
Definition of waqf
In simple terms, waqf means handing over part of one's assets to be used forever for the purposes of praying or public welfare.
Examples of waqf
There are many types of waqf. Donating the Al-Quran, for example, is an 'investment' in charity that will continue to flow even if we leave this world someday.
Another example of waqf is donating ambulances. Why is this good? Because it is intended for the public interest, it provides endless rewards.
Taking lessons from H.R Muslim, donating land for mosque is a kind of waqf that provides endless rewards.
How to Set Aside Money for Waqf
You can start setting aside money for waqf by using the Jago Syariah Saving Pocket. Set aside little by little based on your financial ability. However, do it consistently and of course with sincere intentions.
The Jago Syariah Saving Pocket uses Wadiah Yad Dhamanah akad free of interest. In this way, you can set aside money in accordance with sharia.
Your Saving Pocket can later be changed into a Spending Pocket for transactions. However, if you don't want to change the function of the Pocket, you can also move the balance from the Saving Pocket to the Spending Pocket or Main Pocket.
Manage Finances According to Sharia with Jago Syariah Using the Jago Application
With Jago Syariah, you can create lots of Pockets (up to dozens of them) for various needs. So, you can separate your budget for waqf into its own Pocket. Likewise for other expenses such as daily needs, food and drinks, bill payments and transportation. You can create Jago Syariah Pockets for each of your expenses to make it easier and more practical for you to manage your finances.
Each Jago Syariah Pocket comes with its own Pocket number (bank account number). In other words, by creating a Pocket you open a new account to manage your finances. Having 20 Jago Syariah Pockets is the same as having 20 sharia-based bank accounts.
The Jago Syariah Saving and Spending Pockets use Wadiah Yad Dhamanah akad. Meanwhile, the Sharia Deposit Pocket, as an instrument to save or invest your money for future goals, uses Mudharabah Muthlaqah akad and provides profit sharing.
From now on, you can start setting aside some of your money for waqf to ‘prepare’ for the afterlife.
