Abstract

The Islamic concept of waqf encompasses both spiritual and practical dimensions of generosity. This study intends to analyze the integration of waqf practices with modern financial instruments to boost the social and economic growth of the community. This study covers traditional waqf practices and their growth, addressing operational obstacles and potential for Islamic financial development. This research employs both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. It is conducted with a focus on the socio-economic impact of waqf on poverty alleviation, education, and community development in developing countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Turkey. Preliminary findings indicate that the integrated cash waqf model increased student enrollment rates by 15% and access to healthcare services by 20% in selected communities. This study proposes a policy framework to optimize waqf governance and introduce blockchain technology to enhance transparency. The contribution of this study lies in the proposal of a hybrid financial model that supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) while maintaining the traditional values of waqf.
