Abstract

The Waqf institution has long stood at the heart of Muslim societies-not just as a legal structure, but as a powerful expression of faith, compassion, and community service. For centuries, Waqf has helped sustain mosques, schools, hospitals, and other public services, often acting as a quiet but steady force behind the social and spiritual development of communities. While its ethical and theological roots have remained firm, the way Waqf operates in practice has evolved greatly from one country to another. Today, more than ever, it faces the challenge and opportunity of adapting to the modern world. It This book was born out of a shared sense of purpose: to explore how Waqf is being understood, governed, and reimagined across different parts of the world. brings together voices and insights from a diverse range of countries-Malaysia, Australia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Nigeria, India, and Turkey-each with its own history, legal system, and cultural approach to managing Waqf. While these places differ in many ways, they are connected by a common faith and a deep concern for social justice and human well-being. Across ten chapters, this volume looks at Waqf from multiple angles: its roots in sacred texts, its treatment in courts, its administration by governments and trustees, and its role in shaping modern Islamic philanthropy.
