Rijiju hailed the book as a significant step in fostering minority welfare and called it a guide for reforming the Waqf system to better serve the Muslim community.

Dr. Akhtar highlights the need for administrative changes, while Dr. Ali emphasizes women’s representation in Waqf boards. Qureshi addresses legal accountability, and Sayeed connects historical principles to Waqf’s potential for social welfare.
Through the proposed “UMMEED Act” (United Waqf Act for Management, Empowerment, Efficiency, Development), the book suggests digital record-keeping, independent audits, and efficient property use, aiming to uplift underprivileged communities by ensuring Waqf assets benefit education, healthcare, and social initiatives.
Rijiju praised the Muslim Rashtriya Manch’s efforts to engage the community, advocating for a Waqf system that aligns with justice and inclusive growth. He acknowledged the government’s commitment to reform and emphasized that Waqf properties, seen as valuable national assets, should foster unity and support the needs of society’s most vulnerable.
