On Thursday, February 24, 2022, PT Arsy Buana Travelindo TBK together with PT Madinah Iman Wisata and PT Salwana Global Sarana carried out Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities in the form of waqf of 10,000 books of the Holy Qur'an worth one billion Rupiah. The activity with the theme "Spreading the Qur'an Waqf Around Sumatra" is intended for mosques, Al-Qur'an Education Parks (TPA), and Islamic boarding schools in Sumatra, from Lampung to Aceh.
In its distribution, this Qur'an waqf CSR activity is channeled through the amil zakat and waqf institution (Laziswaf) “Al Hilal”. Laziswaf Al Hilal is an institution that has been established since 2019 and has been registered with the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) through Ministry of Religion Decree No. 220 Tahun 2019. Laziswaf Al Hilal is based in Bandung, West Java.
As part of CSR, the provision of Qur'an waqf is a form of ABT Travel's concern for sustainable community development. As is known, the condition of the availability of the Qur'an in remote areas, in this case in Sumatra, many are still experiencing shortages or damaged Qur'an conditions. So with this CSR activity, it is hoped that it can help improve learning of the Qur'an.
In terms of Islam, Quran waqf is a practice whose rewards continue to flow even after the endowers have passed away. Waqf is classified as a jariyah charity or a reward that does not stop for the person who donates his property in the way of Allah.
