Synopsis: Waqf ahli, or family endowment, represents one of the most nuanced and historically rich institutions within Islamic economic thought. While public waqf has long been associated with mosques, schools, and hospitals, waqf ahli embodies a distinct model that combines private family welfare with long-term social responsibility. Rooted in early Islamic practice and exemplified by the Companions, including Abu Talhah, family-based endowments were designed to preserve wealth, protect lineage, and secure intergenerational stability. In contemporary Muslim societies, renewed interest in waqf ahli reflects its potential to address modern challenges in wealth management, governance, and sustainable development.
