| ==History==
| |
| Muslim Wakf Board was constituted under provisions of Wakf Act in July 1996. Andhra Pradesh has the distinction of being the first state in India to have framed elections rules under this Act and conducted elections and, thus, the A.P.S. Wakf Board has the distinction of being the first board in the country to have been constituted under the provisions of the new Act. Under the provisions of Wakf Act 1995 the Wakf Board is a corporate body having perpetual succession.

| | |
| ==Administration==
| |
| | |
| ===During Nizams===
| |
| | |
| [[His Exalted Highness]] the [[Nizam]] of [[Hyderabad State|Hyderabad]] promulgated a regulation of 1349 Fasli, known as Hyderabad Endowment Regulations under which a Nazim Umoor E Mazhabi (Director, Ecclesiastical Department) was appointed to supervise Wakf administration on behalf of the government. These regulations though brief, provided for every important aspect of Wakf administration in the erstwhile Hyderabad government. It contained 16 sections and provided for registration of Wakf properties, maintenance of Kitab Ul Awqaf ([[Wakf]] Register) (S3-11) in the prescribed manner by the Nazim.<ref name="Strategies-to-Develop-Waqf"/>
| |
| | |
| The unique feature of the Hyderabad Endowment Regulations, 1349 Fasli was its secular character which provided for registration and the supervision of not only the [[Hindu]] and [[Muslim]] Wakfs but endowments of all religions. Therefore, the rules made under these regulations were very exhaustive, numbering about 525.<ref name="Strategies-to-Develop-Waqf"/>
