The recent revival of waqf was spurred
by the realisation among the stakeholders that waqf is an important
resource mobilization mechanism, that if properly developed, managed and
utilized will be able to fund various economic activities for the benefit
of the community. Through waqf, the socio-economic aspects of
contemporary Islamic finance can be fulfilled. With proper structuring
and administration, it can provide perpetual benefit to the society. Today
the utilisation of waqf extends beyond key Islamic finance jurisdictions
such as Malaysia and the GCC, namely in the US, Canada, South Africa and
India, which is a testament to its social and economic contributions. The
perpetual nature of waqf makes it a highly effective platform for
sustainable economic growth, concurrently serving the social agenda of
Islamic finance Institutions in particular, and Islamic finance in
general.
