Abstract
This paper builds on the insights found in Abdur-Rashid (2021) and reimagines how the Islamic civilizational heritage of awqāf (charitable endowments) might look today. Throughout Islamic history, waqf institution changed in form as the community’s material and historical circumstances changed but retained the substance of its spiritual imperative. What are some of the root causes of poverty in today’s world, and how might the waqf be resuscitated to acknowledge and remedy those causes?
