Synopsis: The institution of Waqf stands as one of the most enduring and impactful contributions of Islamic civilization to the field of social finance. For over fourteen centuries, Waqf has served as a vehicle for charitable giving, community development, and public welfare, financing everything from mosques and schools to hospitals, water systems, and agricultural enterprises. Yet, despite its rich history and continued relevance, the potential of Waqf as an engine of economic development remains largely untapped and insufficiently understood. This book, Waqf in Economic development, seeks to provide a comprehensive examination of how this ancient institution can be revitalized and mobilized to address contemporary development challenges while remaining faithful to its spiritual and ethical foundations.
