Abstract: This paper explores the modernization of the waqf institution through the integration of emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital platforms. While waqf has historically served as a powerful tool for socio-economic development in Muslim societies, inefficiencies in management and lack of transparency have hindered its full potential. By proposing a “Smart Waqf†framework, this study examines how digital transformation can enhance waqf asset management, improve stakeholder trust, and support sustainable development goals. Case studies and contemporary models from selected Muslim-majority countries are analysed to demonstrate practical implementation and policy recommendations.
