Waqf refers to a specific form of philanthropic charitable act that is practiced by allocating a non-perishable tangible asset. It involves designating categories of beneficiaries who are entitled to receive its benefits or income. This research investigates the governing structures of Waqf institutions in India and Singapore, with the objective of comprehending the intricate factors that influence their operational functionality. This research aims to explore the differences and similarities in the governance structures of waqf in both countries, considering its significance in their socio-religious landscapes. The main objectives of this comparative analysis are to examine the governance models of Waqf institutions in India and Singapore, identify regulatory mechanisms, and evaluate their impact on the administration and utilization of Waqf assets. Additionally, the study aims to illuminate the socio-economic implications of the differences in governance and assess the effectiveness of each model in preserving the intended socio-religious goals of Waqf endowments. This paper is grounded on research conducted using available written materials, and it embraces the qualitative research framework to analyze the literature at hand. By assessing and comparing the governance of Waqf institutions in India and Singapore, significant disparities are uncovered. India's approach is characterized by decentralization and the existence of various regulatory bodies, Singapore adopts a more centralized approach. The study sheds light on how different governance structures impact the effectiveness, transparency, and sustainable management of Waqf assets. Financial sustainability, community involvement, and adherence to socio-religious purpose emerge as pivotal factors that differentiate the two models.

Cash Waqf revived in Muslim countries allows them to develop this system of charity further. However, Waqf has abundant financial and infrastructure resources in India, which can significantly reduce poverty, particularly among Muslims. Poverty is more prevalent among Muslims in India than in any other community. This library-based research aims to examine how faith-based endowments can reduce poverty in India through cash waqf. This study applies the content analysis of the existing cash waqf models, which examines current Waqf practices for their relationship to India's socio-economic situation. It helps to understand the adoption of cash waqf in India. The paper implemented the waqf shares scheme based on existing literature. Several important reasons make this scheme appropriate for India. First, raising funds from the public is a relatively straightforward process in India by using traditional ways of collecting money, such as cash collections or mobile payment systems that are widely used for raising money. Several poor Indians could benefit from the funds generated by creating employment opportunities and gaining financial, social, and educational empowerment.

Additionally, the paper considers the factors of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) objectives, embedding SRI Sukuk with positive impact. This paper is solely focused on the conceptual nature on SRI Sukuk and Green Sukuk. Additional research is needed to better understand different segments of social impact. Despite gaining international attention from many countries, SRI Sukuk remains a topic with relatively low research and user engagement within Islamic Finance. This paper aims to raise awareness and improve comprehension of SRI Sukuk within Islamic Finance.
