Abstract

The Waqf is a crucial instrument in Islamic economics that is gaining increasing attention in contemporary academic studies. Researchers' attention is no longer limited to the Islamic banking and finance sector, but has shifted to the sustainable management of Islamic wealth through waqf instruments. Malaysia, as a pioneer in the development of global Islamic finance, plays a significant role in modernizing waqf management. The country consists of 14 states, each with the authority to manage waqf assets within its territory. Among these states, Penang Island is known as a successful example of effective and innovative waqf management. This study aims to examine the development of waqf in Penang from its early days to modern practice using a descriptive normative approach and a "time tunnel" analytical framework. Data were obtained through systematic forensic methods utilizing colonial archives in Singapore and London as well as a literature review of historical books, monographs, and scientific journals. The results indicate that the development of waqf in Penang was pioneered by the Indian Muslim diaspora and reinforced by the British colonial government's policy of providing land for religious purposes, which was then donated. After Malaysia's independence, waqf management was under the State Islamic Religious Council of Pulau Pinang (MAINPP), which then developed the concept of productive waqf to support sustainable community welfare.
