A MEETING OF MONTENEGRIN STUDENTS WITH WAQF HERITAGE

11/28/2025

As part of the sixth edition of our “Dream, Discover, Dedicate” project, organized by our Directorate General to convey the centuries-old legacy of waqf culture to young generations, we met with 16 students from Montenegro in Istanbul and Bursa.

From Bezmialem Valide Sultan Waqf University to the Eyüp Mihrişah Sultan Soup Kitchen (Imaret), and from Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque and Süleymaniye Mosque to several other waqf mosques, the program offered a rich and inspiring journey—leaving behind powerful frames filled with meaningful stories.

Through the field experiences carried out within the program, the students embraced the spirit of the imaret tradition, the consciousness of heritage preservation, and the values of solidarity, all of which found a lasting place in their hearts.

"As for the issues related to the foundations, it is known that foundations constitute an important asset of our country. I hope that all members of Council of Ministers together with the Ministry Of Religious Affairs and even the Supreme Assembly examine this issue with great care and that this great institution is protected from devastation and made useful for our country in order to ensure that our country can benefit from this asset as necessary."
