The paper contributes both theoretically and practically in rediscovering the role of waqf which can be used in activating the economic integration of the Arab World, especially that there is a vast common heritage on waqf in Arab countries. This paper also contribute in reviving the theoretical knowledge organising waqf and defining its developmental role taking into consideration the experiences of some Arab countries which managed to keep the system running as a model in activating the role of the society in participating in the economic development and integration of the Arab World.
