Waqf in history is an interesting topic to discuss. By knowing the history related to waqf, a Muslim can develop broader perceptions of waqf. This study aims to determine the roles of waqf in the past to be studied and furthermore it is hoped that it can be a recommendation in managing waqf both in terms of managers and regulators. The method used in this study is a systematic literature review. The data used are articles on the Web of Science (WoS). WoS is the oldest, most widely used, and authoritative database of research publications and citations in the world. The topic keywords used in the search were “Waqf in History”, “Waqf Histories”, and “Waqf and Centuries”. The author selected 23 articles that had been screened with inclusion and exclusion criteria.

The Ottoman Empire had inherited the waqf (charitable foundation) as an institutionalized form of charity from the Near Eastern Islamic states, which had preceded it. Over time, new forms of charitable foundations emerged, while with the expansion of the Empire, waqfs grew in number and spread geographically. Donors created over fifty thousand charitable foundations, making them into the most widespread institution in Ottoman history. Some waqfs, the largest ones in particular, survived for many centuries. However, sometimes continued functioning was under severe threat, due to wars, epidemics, natural disasters, and rebellions. To overcome financial straits, the waqfs resorted to a variety of measures. Occasionally, a royal waqf in difficulty received assistance from other foundations established by sultans and/or their relatives. Administrators reduced current expenditures, sometimes even suspending salaries and charitable services. Moreover, through long-term lease contracts involving substantial down payments by the lessees, waqf administrators often raised the money needed to restore damaged properties. In the present paper, we study Ottoman royal waqfs when exposed to adversities and financial hardships. As administrators reacted with considerable flexibility, the claim that the waqfs were rigid institutions is in obvious need of revision.
