Islamic Social Finance provides an introduction to the Waqf system,
which has played a significant socio-economic role throughout the
history of Islamic civilization. In a contemporary framework, Waqf
creates new networks between micro-entrepreneurs, Small and Medium
Sized Enterprises (SMEs), and entrepreneurship through voluntary
donations made by individuals in a society. In other contexts, Waqf
supports the financial system and contributes to the UN sustainable
development goals (SDGs). The authors explore the relationship
between the roles Waqf plays in realizing the SDGs, its
contributions in many sectors of the economy, and the Waqf
practices among the Southeast Asia countries, particularly
Malaysia. They highlight the existing Waqf models and framework
that have been used by many countries for entrepreneurship that can
be used or adapted for the benefits of SMEs. This book is a
comprehensive overview for academics, postgraduate students,
entrepreneurs, and policy makers who wish to understand how Waqf
can contribute to the economic progress of individuals and society
at large.
