Seperti yang kita ketahui ,wakaf merupakan suatu perkara utama yang penting dalam islam.

Ini kerana ia bukan sahaja mengikuti sunnah nabi malahan wakaf ini bertujuan untuk menolong dan
membantu sesama manusia dalam melengkapkan keperluan masing-masing tidak kira golongan
yang berharta ataupun tidak . Tambahan pula, wakaf ini amat disukai oleh nabi dan juga dituntut
dalam islam . Ini kerana mengikut dalil hadis “ Daripada Ibnu Umar r.a  katanya: Umar  telah
mendapat sebidang tanah di Khaibar  kemudian dia datang menghadap Nabi S.A.W untuk meminta
pendapat berkenaan cara menguruskannya, katanya: Wahai Rasulullah! Saya telah mendapat
sebidang tanah di Khaibar.  Saya belum pernah memperolehi harta yang lebih baik daripada ini.
Baginda bersabda: Jika kamu suka, tahanlah tanah itu (wakafkanlah tanah itu )  dan kamu
sedekahkan manfaatnya. Lalu Umar  mengeluarkan sedekah hasil tanah itu dengan syarat tanahnya
tidak boleh dijual dan dibeli serta diwarisi atau dihadiahkan. Umar  mengeluarkan sedekah hasilnya
kepada fakir miskin, kaum kerabat dan untuk memerdekakan hamba juga untuk orang yang berjihad
di jalan Allah serta untuk bekal orang yang sedang dalam perjalanan dan menjadi hidangan untuk
tetamu. Orang yang mengurusnya boleh makan sebahagian hasilnya dengan cara yang baik dan
boleh memberi makan kepada temannya dengan sekadarnya”. Di dalam ayat quran juga ada
menyeb76yutkan berkaitan dengan wakaf iaitu disebutkan pada surah An-Nahl 97 dan al-Quraisy 1-4
Hadis dan ayat quran ini jelas menunjukkan bahawa kita perlulah berwakaf bagi memenuhi
kebajikan serta menolong orang ramai .

Di dalam islamik ekonomi waqf terdiri dari berberapa bahagian antaranya ialah waqf
(Islamic endowment), zakat (compulsory alms), sadaqah (donation), and qard hasan (benevolent
loan) and others . wakaf memberikan impak yang besar kepada ekonomi seperti dapat
menghapuskan riba dan meningkatkan kebajikan masyarakat . di dalam kebajikan waqaf pula ia
terdiri dari 3 bahagian : 1)bahagian ibadah : seperti perbelanjaan masjid dan pembersihan.
2)perkhidmatan kebajikan : seperti anak yatim dan mewujudkan hospital 3)bahagian pendidikan :
seperti membina institusi pendidikan .ia dapat dilihat pada zaman pemerintahan ayubit (1171-1249)
dan zaman mamalik (1249-1517) di mana wakaf dapat memberi banyak manfaat dalam
menubuhkan institusi pendidikan pada masa itu . Selain itu, wakaf ini boleh dikaitkan juga dengan
aktiviti amal kebajikan . islam mengajarkan kita untuk meberi pertolongan kepada orang yang
memerlukan pada banyak aspek seperti menjadi sukarelawan. Individuals are helping the authorities
to upgrade and maintain the condition of the society like you can throw your hand to help at old
folks home . menurut utusan borneo 9/3/2020 menteri kesihatan dan kesejahteraan rakyat Datuk
Frankie Poon Ming Fung berkata “sukarelawan adalah merupakan suatu aset penting yang perlu
dipertingkatkan bagi menolong ramai orang yang memerlukan” Sehubungan itu katanya,
pendekatan yang efektif untuk mendaftar, melatih dan mengekalkan penglibatan sukarelawan perlu
ditingkatkan. "Penubuhan Pusat Sukarelawan Kebajikan Sabah antara inisiatif yang dilaksanakan bagi
meningkatkan penglibatan golongan muda dalam kerja sukarelawan kebajikan. "Sepanjang 2019,
seramai 194 sukarelawan dilatih dengan pelbagai kemahiran dan pengetahuan bagi memantapkan
kerja di lapangan kebajikan,". sebanyak 16 program kebajikan dan kemasyarakatan berjaya
dilaksanakan dengan sokongan serta bantuan sekitar 865 sukarelawan. Menurutnya, sukarelawan
yang terlibat memberi bantuan dan sokongan sosial kepada seramai 606 warga emas bersama 202
orang kelainan upaya (OKU) sepanjang tahun lepas. Hal ini jelaslah dapat disimpulkan bahawa wakaf
banyak memberi pertolongan dari segi kebajikan masyarakat seperti memberi makanan ,menjadi
sukarelawan , menubuhkan pusat kesihatan dan banyak lagi. Oleh itu , wajarlah kepada kerajaan dan
juga rakyat bersama-sama dalam usaha memperbanyakkan wakaf bagi menstabilkan kebajikan
masyarakat.

As we know, waqf is a main important thing in Islam. This is because it is not only following
the sunnah of the prophet, but this waqf is intended to help and assist fellow human beings in
completing their respective needs, regardless of whether they are rich or not. In addition, this waqf
is very much liked by the prophet and is also demanded in Islam. This is because according to the
evidence of the hadith " From Ibn Umar r.a he said: Umar got a piece of land in Khaibar then he
came to the Prophet S.A.W to ask for his opinion on how to manage it, he said: O Messenger of
Allah! I have got a piece of land in Khaibar. I have never acquired a better property than this. His
Majesty said: If you like, keep the land (endow the land) and you donate the benefits. Then Umar
issued alms from the land with the condition that the land could not be sold or bought and inherited
or gifted. Umar gave alms to the poor, relatives and to free slaves as well as for those who fought in
the path of God as well as for provisions for people on the way and as a meal for guests. The person
who takes care of it can eat part of the produce in a good way and can feed his friends in
moderation". The Prophet Muhammad defined the waqf as sadaqah jariyah by hadith narrated by
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him): that The Messenger of Allah said: “When a person
dies, (the reward of) his deeds stop except for three: “A perpetual Şadaqah (Şadaqah Jāriyah),
knowledge from which benefit is (continuously) gained, of a pious child who is invoking Allāh for
him.” Related by Muslim. In the verses of the Qur'an there is also a mention related to waqf which is
mentioned in surah An-Nahl 97 and al-Quraish 1-4 Hadith and this verse of the Qur'an clearly shows
that we need to make waqf to fulfill the welfare and help the public.

In the Islamic economy, waqf consists of several parts including waqf (Islamic endowment),
zakat (compulsory alms), sadaqah (donation), and qard hasan (benevolent loan) and others. waqf
has a great impact on the economy such as eliminating usury and improving community welfare. in
the welfare of waqf, it consists of 3 parts: 1) the worship part: such as mosque expenses and
cleaning. 2) welfare services: such as orphans and establishing hospitals 3) the education sector:
such as building educational institutions. It can be seen in the Ayyubid period (1171-1249) and the
Mamalik period (1249-1517) where waqf can provide many benefits in establishing educational
institutions at that time. In addition, this waqf can also be linked to charitable activities. Islam
teaches us to help people in need in many aspects such as volunteering. Individuals are helping the
authorities to upgrade and maintain the condition of the society like you can throw your hand to
help at old folks home. according to borneo messenger 9/3/2020 the minister of health and people's
welfare Datuk Frankie Poon Ming Fung said "volunteering is an important asset that needs to be
enhanced to help many people in need" In this regard he said, an effective approach to register,
train and maintain involvement volunteers need to be increased. "The establishment of the Sabah
Welfare Volunteer Center is one of the initiatives implemented to increase the involvement of young
people in welfare volunteer work. "Throughout 2019, a total of 194 volunteers were trained with
various skills and knowledge to strengthen work in the welfare field.", a total of 16 welfare and
community programs were successfully implemented with the support and assistance of around 865
volunteers. According to him, the volunteers involved provided help and social support to a total of
606 senior citizens and 202 people with disabilities (OKU) throughout the last year. It can clearly be
concluded that the waqf provides a lot of help in terms of community welfare such as giving food,
volunteering, establishing health centers and many more. Therefore, it is appropriate for the
government and the people to work together in an effort to increase waqf to stabilize the welfare of
the community.
 among the suggestions we can make is to add and expand the Islamic economic sector
whose vision and mission do not run away from the concept of waqf. By creating waqf organizations
where these organizations do their job in fulfilling the welfare of society, such as paying more
attention in the education sector. this organization can provide learning funding assistance to
students, especially students who study the financial and economic sectors. This is because it can
add more students who are skilled in finance and economics, indirectly these students can add and
develop the waqf sector in the Islamic economy in the future.

Our hope is that all parties should join hands in maintaining and further expanding the waqf
sector in the economy and finance in Malaysia.
