WAQF IN MEDIEVAL ISLAM: AN OVERVIEW
Main Article Content
Abstract
Waqf terminology was not found indirectly in the Al-Quran. However, sadaqah is often associated with waqf, which refers to religious endowments, since Prophet Muhammad emphasised that Muslim deeds can be contributed continuously to receive reward from Allah. The key reason for the idea of waqf was to restore the roots to nature for the sake of Allah, which in this sense meant to support the poor and vulnerable people in society. The aim of this paper is to look at the practise of waqf in mediaeval Islam and the position of cash waqf. In this article adopted the qualitative and content analysis method. This paper was successful in describing waqf, which is a structure distinct from Islamic states and other states in medieval Islam, and cash waqf was permitted during the Ottoman era. This paper is noteworthy because it demonstrated the popularity of the waqf paradigm in medieval Islam. Waqf clearly benefited the whole community.
