Abstract: The study additionally investigates the linkages between waqf and Islamic financial instruments, including zakat and microfinance, in promoting inclusive development. A systematic literature study and case studies from several nations (Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey, Singapore, to be determined). This research has revealed the emergence of alternate models, such as cash waqf, as well as governance problems, including non-uniform guidelines and structured effect evaluation. The research findings reveal that cash waqf increases enterprises’ income by 12% in Indonesia; yet, due to insufficient transparency, stakeholders lose their faith. The study suggests that the country must implement a cohesive regulatory framework, a waqf impact index, and digital platforms to enhance its efficiency. hence facilitating the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals within the Islamic finance framework.
