Abstract

This paper explores the modernization of the waqf institution through the integration of emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital platforms. While waqf has historically served as a powerful tool for socio-economic development in Muslim societies, inefficiencies in management and lack of transparency have hindered its full potential. By proposing a “Smart Waqf†framework, this study examines how digital transformation can enhance waqf asset management, improve stakeholder trust, and support sustainable development goals. Case studies and contemporary models from selected Muslim-majority countries are analysed to demonstrate practical implementation and policy recommendations.
