Abstract
| The Ottomans showed the characteristics of a waqf civilization. They made an optimal use of the waqf system that Islam brought and continued the waqf system heritage successfully. As a result, waqf properties were able to spread throughout the state’s land. They improved the overall waqf institutions and diversified endowments in order to extend the waqf system. Thus, waqfs could be seen in all cities of Ottoman and even the remote villages. This situation increased the importance of waqfs in the Ottoman State economically as well as socially. The paper will show how waqf played a vital role in the economic structure of the Ottoman Empire for its public services, education services, and religious services, and the transformation of Waqf throughout the era. |
