BACKGROUND
MUKTAMAR WAQF IQLIMI III 2016 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 related to best practices on governance, financing and development of the awqaf assets in the ASEAN region in particular and the World at large.
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 third sector (distinct from government and private sectors) 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 members of the ummah 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.
OBJECTIVES OF THE SEMINAR
