BACKGROUND
MUKTAMAR WAQF IQLIMI II 2015 provides a platform for open dialogues and discussions among policymakers, academics, researchers, practitioners and postgraduate students, to address current and pertinent issues, prospects, challenges and opportunities in the field of Social Enterprise and Islamic philanthropy through Ijtima’e application and Waqf in the ASEAN region and the World.
The concept of waqf is parallel with Zakat and Baitulmal in its importance, especially in enhancing the economy of the Ummah. Waqf is outlined by Islam as a fiscal measure bridging the economic gap within the society, with the objective of achieving the spirit of justice and the ultimate goal of al-Falah. Therefore it is hoped that every citizen in ASEAN and the World should be empowered by the Islamic economic system and benefit from the strengthening and development of the economy of the Ummah.
