Abstract

Waqf resources which once used to finance the social welfare needs of the Muslim society, have now lost much of their vigor due to the economic ill-health of Muslims. Now, as new awqāf are not created often, a short-term measure to overcome the problem is to develop the existing awqāf and also to consider certain such measures which may enhance the income generation capability and administrative well-being of awqāf. With this in view, this brief write-up discusses in relative detail the issues inherent in the development of awqāf, better utilization of cash waqf, debate on perpetuity of waqf, state intervention and also whether origin of trust lies in waqf and a futuristic model of waqf management by separating religious awqāf (like mosques, graveyards, etc.) and secular awqāf so as to confine state intervention to secular awqāf alone. فقدت موارد الأوقاف التي كانت تستخدم في السابق لتمويل الاحتياجات الاجتماعية للمجتمع الإسلامي الكثير من حيويتها بسبب تدهور الحالة الاقتصادية للمسلمين. وفي الوقت الراهن بالنظر إلى قلة إنشاء أوقاف جديدة، فإن الحل لهذه المشكلة على المدى القصير هو تطوير الأوقاف القائمة مع النظر في بعض التدابير التي قد تعزز قدرة توليد الدخل وتحسن الوضع الإداري للأوقاف. ومن هذا المنطلق، تتناول هذه المقالة بشيء من التفصيل الجوانب التالية: القضايا المتأصلة في تطوير الأوقاف؛ كيفية استفادة أكبر من الوقف النقدي؛ النقاش حول ديمومة الوقف؛ تدخل الدولة في إدارة الأوقاف؛ هل فكرة الترست (Trust) الغربية ترجع أصولها إلى الوقف الإسلامي؟؛ ونموذج مستقبلي لإدارة الوقف من خلال الفصل بين الأوقاف التي تخصص للمصالح الدينية (كالمساجد والمقابر ونحوها) وتلك التي تخصص للمصالح الدنيوية، بحيث ينحصر تدخل الدولة في الأوقاف الدنيوية.
