Abstract

Islamic philanthropic instruments such as waqf face a profound paradox within the global capitalist system. While embodying ideals of substantive economic justice and community empowerment, in practice they often become subsumed by the dominant economic logic, limiting their transformative potential. This study aims to analyze the transformation of Islamic philanthropy models in Morocco, particularly the shift from traditional waqf to modern socio-economic instruments. Employing a qualitative library research approach with historical-institutionalist and case study perspectives, this research synthesizes academic literature, legal documents, and institutional reports to examine the characteristics of traditional waqf, the drivers of its transformation, and its implications for socio-economic development. The findings reveal that waqf transformation in Morocco is driven by the interplay of state intervention, economic modernization, and global philanthropic models, resulting in a transition toward productive and institutionalized waqf. However, this process is non-linear and marked by tensions between religious values, market logic, and governance structures. The study argues that waqf reform is not merely technical but constitutes a broader socio-institutional transformation requiring the integration of innovation with Sharia principles to ensure Islamic philanthropy remains both effective and ethically grounded in advancing sustainable socio-economic development in Morocco and comparable contexts

Abstract

This study examines the constitutive duality of Arab-Islamic NGO philanthropy in Senegal, where the same actions simultaneously fill public service gaps and reshape religious authority. While over 500 such organizations operate in Senegal, building mosques, schools, and wells, their impacts remain undertheorized beyond binary categories of aid versus interference. A multi-sited ethnographic case study was conducted over six months across Dakar, Touba, Kaolack, and Matam, employing semi-structured interviews with five key informants, participant observation, documentary analysis, and Social Network Analysis. The findings reveal that the same mosque built with Gulf funding is simultaneously framed as charity (by NGOs), regulation (by the state), ideological competition (by Sufi brotherhoods), and social mobility opportunity (by youth). Using Bourdieu’s field theory, the study argues that this constitutive duality is a structural feature of Senegal’s religious field in transition from doxa to heterodoxy, where colliding habitus and unequal capital produce multiple, simultaneous meanings. The study concludes that transnational Islamic philanthropy cannot be reduced to binary categories. It must be understood as a complex process where welfare and authority, complementarity and competition, cooperation and transformation are produced simultaneously. This reframing has significant policy implications, requiring nuanced regulation that distinguishes humanitarian aid from religious authority formation.
