The Global WaqfTech Conference 2025

The Global WaqfTech Conference 2025 (GWT 2025) will take place on 11 November 2025 at Menara Felda, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This landmark event will gather leading scholars, policymakers, fintech innovators, Islamic finance experts, and community leaders.

Moreover, the conference will highlight how emerging technologies—such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, geospatial mapping, and Islamic fintech—can transform the global waqf system into a powerful driver of sustainable development.

Qur’anic Inspiration

The conference draws guidance from the Qur’anic verse (2:261):

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed of grain which grows seven spikes; in each spike are a hundred grains.”

In essence, this timeless principle illustrates how digital waqf can multiply its impact across generations. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for barakah, accountability, and innovation in every act of giving.
