SRINAGAR, July 16: A man from Ganderbal today donated his land worth Rs 1 crore to J&K Waqf Board.
Ali Mohammad Sheikh, son of Mohammad Ahsan Sheikh of Wahidpora (Ganderbal) donated the land in memory of her young daughter Aabida Ali who had expired sometime back.
“Ali Mohammad was very emotional when he expressed his wish to donate the land to the Waqf Board in memory of her beloved daughter. I consoled him and praised him for this decision,” said J&K Waqf Board Chairperson Dr Darakhshan Andrabi after accepting his request for presenting the ownership of the land to the Waqf Board.
“All the assets and properties are based on the land donated by the ancestors for social and religious use. The huge assets and properties need honest caring and management which was always lacking in J&K. People have started trusting us again after the new Board took over. Many people from far and near have approached J&K Waqf Board for taking over the community complexes, Masjids and Shrines for better management”, said Dr Andrabi.
She said that people like Ali Mohammad are the real inspiration in today’s world and it is just a new beginning for a long historical revival of Waqf in J&K.
