Abstract
| Waqf system is one of the most effective resolutions of Islam for the social welfare of humankind. Waqf is the only kind of charitable system where working capital remains undiminished. Waqf system had been in effect in different Islamic State from the early age of Islam. It is also found to have prevailed in Bangladesh even before the advent of Islam in the region. But no informative, organized and authentic research on the waqf Management had been carried out here due to lack of historical evidence, documentation and proper initiative. The objective of this research work is to depict the scenario of overall Waqf System of Bangladesh abridged. The brief introduction to waqf, the historical, political and economic factors in its practice in Bangladesh, its evolution and present scenario in the country, important stakeholders, the relevant laws and their interaction with one another and with local and international laws, rules and standards, prevailing waqf model in Bangladesh, inception of cash waqf in the country – in a nutshell, gross overview of waqf management in Bangladesh, its challenges, do’s and don’ts in its developments etc. have been discussed here. Most of the information has been extracted from secondary sources except essentially in some cases from primary sources. Due to the inadequacy of information, the overall scenario of Bangladesh waqf system could not be depicted completely. However, propagation and practice of waqf system holds a brighter prospect in Bangladesh compared to other countries due to the fact that 90% of its 16 crores population is Muslim. Therefore, if a joint initiative is taken by the government, national and international organizations, induction of Waqf System in Bangladesh would be gradually increased. |
