Abstract
Waqf or Islamic endowment is an important institution in the
social sector (ijtimia’i sector) of the Islamic economic system that
has contributed significantly towards socio-economic and social
development since the early days of Islam. There is an abundance
of historical evidence that has shown the commendable contribution
of waqf as a primary socio-economic vehicle for financing Muslim
society (Hodgson, 1974) without incurring any cost to the government
(Mohsin, 2010; Cizakca, 1998). A substantial amount of literature
has discussed the great contributions of waqf, and the importance
of effective and efficient management role of waqf institution in
enhancing the socio-economic development.
