“…The Malaysian Government is in favour of this method, considering its alignment with the country’s policies for developing socio-economic growth. The economic angle suggests that waqf assets be invested in a way that its returns can be applied to creating benefits including free health care, free education, job creation and aid for the poor (Wan Ab Rahaman et al , 2021). The Singaporean waqf institution is an ideal standard for Malaysia because of its status as the globe’s premier authority on waqf issues and success in cultivating waqf assets through partnerships and joint ventures.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine how beliefs and expectations on collaboration for investment, technology advancement and governance can lead to sustainable income generation that succeeds in influencing the community to accept the proposed Waqf integrated income generating model (WIIGM). Design/methodology/approach This study empirically examined the beliefs and expectations on the proposed WIIGM model, which was adapted from the theory of reasoned action (TRA). Data was collected from 366 respondents selected via convenience sampling. Questionnaires were distributed online, of which responses were then analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling for hypothesis testing. Ethical approval is also gathered before the data collection begins. Findings This study found that collaboration for investment and governance significantly contribute to sustainable income generation in waqf operations and management, which eventually results in the community’s trust and acceptance of the WIIGM model. Technology advancement also significantly influences sustainable income generation, which finally leads to the community's behavioural intention to participate in the WIIGIM model. Further studies on this variable may establish findings from other perspectives. Practical implications This paper is an original study that empirically examines the potential for a new waqf integrated income-generating model in building the trust of the community towards waqf institutions. This study is significantly important for practitioners and policymakers in evaluating the potential roles of waqf based on the belief and trust of the community. Originality/value This paper adds value to existing literature regarding the potential of a new waqf integrated income-generating model.
