Philosophy Of Higher Education Waqf: A Review Falsafah Wakaf Pendidikan Tinggi ; Satu Semakan Semula

Abstract

Higher education waqf has received considerable attention from various parties. Its emergence became part of an alternative solution especially in the field of higher education in Malaysia. Implementation of higher education waqf in the modern world of education is inaccurately regarded not to be in line with the real purpose and philosophy of higher educational waqf. Discussions are initiated by re-exploring the concept of waqf and education, the origin and destination of each. This paper uses a dialectical philosophy research method that contains three main processes, namely analysis, synthesis and critical. Five key focus areas are given to understanding the philosophy of higher education waqf, namely understanding the concept of education waqf, its origins or sources, the relationship and link between the concept of waqf and the idea of higher education, the true purpose of higher education waqf and the implication of the concept of higher education waqf to the Islamic education system. The concept of higher education waqf should be linked to the real purpose of education according to the Islamic world view in accordance with the origin of waqf sourced revelation. With that understanding, the idea of higher education waqf has a significant impact on the higher education system, especially in today's modern educational environment.
