It offers innovative solutions for poverty alleviation, education, and healthcare while fostering community solidarity. Challenges such as regulatory frameworks, transparency, and efficient management remain areas of focus to maximize its potential in modern economies. Historically, waqf played a vital role in the socio-economic development of Muslim societies, funding mosques, schools, hospitals, and public utilities.
