Abstract: Waqf is a philanthropic institution which is unique to Islam. Since the time of the Prophet Muhammad (may the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon him) through to the Ottoman Empire, millions of awqaf were set up by Muslims in every corner of the world. Unfortunately, when the Muslim world was colonized, the institution of waqf became one of the prime targets of the colonizers. The recent past has seen a marked interest in the revival of the waqf institution through-out the Muslim world. One such step was the establishment of the International Centre For Waqf Research (ICWR) in November 2013, under the auspices of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The present book being reviewed is the first major presentation of the Centre. يعتبر الوقف مؤسسة خيرية فريدة من نوعها ومن خصائص الدين الإسلامي. فمنذ زمن النبي محمد (صلى الله عليه وسلم) إلى عهد الدولة العثمانية، أقام المسلمون الملايين من الأوقاف في جميع أنحاء العالم. ولكن عندما استعمر العالم الإسلامي، استهدفت مؤسسة الوقف من قبل المستعمرين فألغوا كل ما أقامه المسلمون من آليات ومنشآت ونظم لإدارة الأوقاف وتنميتها. ولقد شهد الماضي القريب اهتماما ملحوظا بإحياء مؤسسة الوقف في العالم الإسلامي. وكانت إحدى هذه الخطوات إنشاء المركز الدولي لأبحاث الأوقاف في نوفمبر عام 2013م، تحت رعاية الجامعة الإسلامية العالمية في ماليزيا. والكتاب الحالي (موضوع هذا العرض) هو أول نتاج رئيسي للمركز.
