Abstract

Significant issues with water management and security face the countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC); these challenges are worsened by pressures from economic expansion, population growth, and climate change. Islamic financial instruments such as Zakat and Waqf provide creative means of addressing these issues. This paper examines the possible effects of Zakat and Waqf on sustainable water management and security solutions in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries, emphasizing their historical relevance, current uses, and potential future developments. A multidisciplinary method was used to conduct a thorough analysis, incorporating viewpoints from Islamic finance, environmental science, and public policy. A qualitative research method was used through literature review, and interview with about twelve (12) pertinent people from six (6) categories of people to gather data. The conclusions of this research imply that Zakat and Waqf have a great deal of potential to support OIC nations’ sustainable water management and security. The study concludes with actionable suggestions for governments, NGOs, policymakers, and community leaders with the goal of maximizing the application of Zakat and Waqf to resolve water-related issues. In order to accomplish sustainable development goals, this research emphasizes how crucial it is to include traditional Islamic financial tools into contemporary water management systems.

Abstract

About 6 out of 10 pupils in Northern Nigerian rural areas are left behind in educational attainment due to poverty, lack of parental support, insecurity challenges, or cultural disparity. This study aims to describe the relationship between socioeconomic status and educational goals in Northern Nigeria and how using and revitalizing Waqf institutions might advance education in the region. Because of socioeconomic factors like poverty, cultural norms, and underfunded educational systems, Northern Nigeria faces significant challenges that impede access to high-quality education and educational goals despite numerous government initiatives. A review of the literature, case studies, and expert interviews are all part of the qualitative technique used in this study. These techniques make it possible to fully comprehend the difficulties the local educational system faces and the historical and contemporary contributions of Waqf institutions to the advancement of education in northern Nigerian communities. Examining pertinent theoretical frameworks and empirical research yields important insights into how Islamic endowment systems can lessen notable educational gaps in the region, which is one of the significant findings of the current research. It also revealed that Waqf models that have worked well in other Muslim countries draw attention to the potential applications for more benefits and to finance education for underprivileged students. Ultimately, the study recommends that including Waqf in educational financing would provide practical, long-term methods to improve educational objectives in the area and lessen the detrimental effects of the socioeconomic crisis.

Abstract

This study examines the legal framework of waqf in Nigeria and its potential role in driving modern economic development. Waqf, as one of the key institutions in Islamic economic law, has historically played a significant role in wealth redistribution, social welfare, and public service provision in many Muslim societies. Despite its substantial potential, waqf in Nigeria remains underutilized due to regulatory ambiguities, low public awareness, and complex socio-political dynamics. This research provides an in-depth analysis of the existing waqf laws in Nigeria, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, and investigates how regulatory reforms could enhance the effectiveness of waqf in addressing socio-economic challenges. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study integrates doctrinal legal analysis with empirical research to explore the waqf framework in Nigeria and its role in economic development. The findings reveal the implications of developing a more robust legal framework for waqf in Nigeria, emphasizing its role in poverty alleviation, education funding, healthcare services, and infrastructure development, while identifying its potential as a complementary mechanism to state-provided services. The study recommends the establishment of a dedicated waqf commission to standardize regulations, ensure accountability, and promote transparency. It also advocates for partnerships between government agencies, religious institutions, and civil society to raise awareness and encourage public participation in waqf initiatives. By integrating waqf into Nigeria’s broader economic and development policies, the study concludes that waqf has the potential to play a transformative role in achieving sustainable development goals, reducing economic disparities, and fostering community-driven development. The research findings are intended to serve as a foundation for policymakers, academics, and practitioners interested in revitalizing waqf within Nigeria’s contemporary economic framework. Abstract: Penelitian ini mengkaji kerangka hukum wakaf di Nigeria serta potensinya dalam mendorong perkembangan ekonomi modern. Wakaf, sebagai salah satu institusi kunci dalam hukum ekonomi Islam, secara historis berperan penting dalam redistribusi kekayaan, kesejahteraan sosial, dan penyediaan layanan publik di banyak masyarakat Muslim. Meskipun memiliki potensi besar, wakaf di Nigeria masih kurang dimanfaatkan akibat kurangnya kejelasan regulasi, rendahnya tingkat kesadaran masyarakat, serta dinamika sosial-politik yang kompleks. Penelitian ini memberikan analisis mendalam terhadap hukum wakaf yang berlaku di Nigeria, termasuk kekuatan dan kelemahannya, serta menyelidiki bagaimana reformasi regulasi dapat meningkatkan efektivitas wakaf dalam mengatasi tantangan sosial-ekonomi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif, menggabungkan analisis hukum doktrinal dengan penelitian empiris untuk menyelidiki kerangka kerja wakaf di Nigeria dan perannya dalam pembangunan ekonomi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan implikasi dari pengembangan kerangka hukum yang lebih baik bagi wakaf di Nigeria, peran wakaf dalam pengentasan kemiskinan, pendanaan pendidikan, pelayanan kesehatan, dan pembangunan infrastruktur, serta mengidentifikasi potensinya sebagai pelengkap layanan yang disediakan oleh negara. Rekomendasi penelitian ini meliputi pembentukan komisi wakaf khusus untuk menstandarkan regulasi, memastikan akuntabilitas, dan mendorong transparansi. Penelitian ini juga mendorong kemitraan antara lembaga pemerintah, institusi keagamaan, dan masyarakat sipil untuk meningkatkan kesadaran serta partisipasi publik dalam inisiatif wakaf. Dengan mengintegrasikan wakaf ke dalam kebijakan ekonomi dan pembangunan Nigeria secara lebih luas, penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa wakaf memiliki potensi untuk berperan transformatif dalam mencapai tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan, mengurangi kesenjangan ekonomi, dan mendorong pembangunan berbasis komunitas. Temuan penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi dasar bagi para pembuat kebijakan, akademisi, dan praktisi yang tertarik untuk merevitalisasi wakaf dalam kerangka ekonomi kontemporer Nigeria.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how women in Northern Nigeria might benefit from digital education through waqf, an Islamic endowment. To increase girls and women's access to education, the study focuses on determining how waqf institutions may aid in creating e-learning infrastructure, materials, and training initiatives. The study aims to eliminate social and economic hurdles that restrict women's access to education in the area, advance gender equality, and provide women with the skills necessary for socioeconomic development by utilizing waqf monies. The ultimate objective is to demonstrate how integrating digital education programs with Islamic charitable frameworks can establish long-term avenues for women's empowerment and promote wider community development in Northern Nigeria. Women's education greatly aids Social and economic progress, especially in areas with large gender gaps. Women's access to formal education has been hampered in Northern Nigeria by long-standing obstacles such as early marriage, poverty, and cultural conventions.

This study uses a mixed-methods approach, this study investigates how Waqf supports e-learning for women in Northern Nigeria by integrating qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The results indicate that women's educational chances can be greatly improved by combining Waqf with online learning programs, enabling them to better their socioeconomic circumstances and make a positive impact on their communities. The study's conclusion emphasizes the necessity of deliberate actions to optimize Waqf's effectiveness in resolving gender-based educational disparities in Northern Nigeria.

Abstract

This study focuses on the contributions Waqf institutions make to community service delivery while critically examining their role in advancing sustainable development in Nigeria. In order to assess the impact of Waqf in sectors including education, healthcare, poverty reduction, and infrastructure development, the study uses both qualitative and quantitative data gathered through surveys, interviews, and document analysis. In order to highlight excellent practices and issues, case studies of prominent Waqf foundations in Nigeria are given, together with their accomplishments and shortcomings. The results show that although Waqf institutions have made important contributions to community service, issues including tax regulatory frameworks, low public awareness, and subpar management techniques have prevented them from reaching their full potential. The report emphasizes that in order to improve the operation of Waqf institutions, legal reforms, capacity training, and public-private collaborations are necessary. With a focus on its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the study ends by offering a roadmap for utilizing Waqf as a tool for sustainable development in Nigeria. There are suggestions on how civil society, religious institutions, and government agencies might work together to revive Waqf institutions for efficient community service delivery, which would eventually support social cohesion and national growth.
