Waqf plays an important role as a financing instrument for educational institution development. In Malaysia, the majority of the educational waqf institutions focus on the establishment of pondok institutions and religious schools that were built on waqf lands and properties for the purpose of education.

This framework uses qualitative research, which involves primary and secondary data. The findings of this research are hoped to reveal the role cash waqf play as a pondok financing instrument in Malaysia.

Mental health issues are frequently ignored and overlooked by society because they cannot be physically expressed. Furthermore, this perception has long been entrenched in the Malaysian society as the stigma against individuals who suffer from this problem remains at the same level even though awareness about mental health issues has spread significantly. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being among counseling clients in one of the government agencies in Pahang, Malaysia, during the Covid-19 pandemic. A total of 157 counseling clients answered the questionnaire. SmartPLS was used to evaluate the data content of the questionnaire and test the research hypotheses. The results of the analysis yielded several significant findings. First, there was a positive and significant relationship between emotional intelligence (i.e., self-awareness, social awareness and emotional receptivity) and spiritual intelligence. Second, there is a positive and significant relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being. Third, there is a positive and significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being. Fourth, there is a positive and significant relationship between emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being. The findings of this study confirmed the important role of spiritual intelligence as a mediating variable in the relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being. Furthermore, the findings of this study can be used as essential recommendations to help practitioners understand the diversity of perspectives on the construct of emotional intelligence and develop a spiritual intelligence management plan in counseling sessions to help those with mental issues achieve and maintain their emotional wellbeing in daily life.

Waqf funding in this digital era is generally seen to be in line with the world's challenges in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of this pandemic has also had a profound impact on the education sector, especially those involving Private Tahfiz Schools (PTS) which are registered under the Waqf Management unit of the State Islamic Religious Council (MAIN). However, the question remains whether these registered PTSs is able to provide the best educational services, especially amid a pandemic. In reality, 67.4 per cent of Private Tahfiz Schools were closed because they could not afford the operating coPTS. In the face of a challenging economy, it is important for PTS to think of alternatives for raising funds and income through businesses in the current pandemic. Therefore, the implementation of the ijarah al-'ain contract is an important instrument in sustaining the management coPTS of a PTS. A total of six (6) informants representing PTS and MAIN managers in Kedah, Perlis, and Penang were interviewed. The results of the interviews were transcribed and analyzed using NVIVO 11 software. The findings of the study found that there are four types of ijarah al-'ain assets implemented in the waqf management of a PTS, namely rental of houses and homestays, buildings, vehicles, and agricultural farms supported by MAIN. This study contributes to the theoritical and practical implication in generating income and business that can provide long-term benefits in the waqf management of a PTS.
