THE CONCEPT OF WAQF FROM WORLDVIEW THEORY: The Study of Sharia-Philosophy

Abstract

This article describes the structure of the waqf concept from a worldview theory perspective. Worldview is simply a fundamental belief system concerning God, reality, man and truth, ethics, etc.; which serves as a guide for human life. A person's worldview will determine his behavior and actions. The next question is what kind of belief concept makes someone willing to do waqf? This article is a literature review that employs qualitative data with a philosophical approach. The data analysis method employs content analysis of data sources from the library. The result shows that the worldview analysis on waqf is a concept that was emerging from the Islamic worldview whose emergence was supported by various other fundamental concepts such as God, Prophets, Revelation, and Sharia (religion). It proves that the structure of the waqf concept is not as simple as handing over the property to Allah for the benefit of others. The peculiarity of such waqf concept seems impossible to be affirmed by the secular Western worldview, which is unable to affirm the concept of revelation, the Prophet, and religion. It also proves that the philosophical foundation of a waqf concept built on an Islamic worldview is very consistent, solid, and even has a broad spectrum that spans the worldly and the hereafter visions simultaneously.

“…The proceeds derived from these assets are designed to perpetually serve the welfare of the waqif's beneficiaries, be it their immediate family or the broader society (Ascarya, 2022). Intrinsic to the concept is the principle that these assets are henceforth the property of Allah Jalla Sya'nuhu, immutable by sale, exchange, or inheritance (Amrullah et al, 2022). The administration of the cash waqf is entrusted to a nazir, while the mauquf alaih represents the beneficiaries entitled to the fruits of this endowment (Sari, 2023).…”

“…Underpinning this concept is the principle of perpetuity; the assets endowed in cash waqf are eternally earmarked for charitable works and are hence considered the property of Allah Jalla Sya'nuhu. These assets are safeguarded from transactional activities such as sales, exchanges, or inheritance, thereby preserving their integrity for continuous benefit (Ambarwati et al, 2021;Amrullah et al, 2022;Qadri, 2019a). The governance of cash waqf is entrusted to a nazir-a custodian or trustee-who ensures that the mauquf alaih, the beneficiaries, receive the intended advantages from the endowment, reinforcing the foundational Islamic value of stewardship (Adhasara et al, 2022;Ghani et al, 2018).…”
