| Summary: | Poverty has become commonplace for many households. This unfortunate
state could be a result of several challenges including the notorious financial
meltdown. It could be positively argued that most governments and private
and voluntary sectors have not been performing impressively towards
alleviating poverty among the poor, especially in the rural areas. Waqf
endowment provides human relief, dignity, financial support, and social needs
to reduce poverty in society. There is a need for human development especially
for the less privileged indigenous communities due to financial constraints,
unemployment, and insufficient and inadequate support. The study discusses
how Terengganu’s waqf properties can be used for human development such
as creation of employment, micro-finance, transaction, farming, soft loans,
and other lawful lucrative businesses and investments. The quantitative
method is employed throughout the discussion and useful solutions to
outstanding problems are suggested in the findings. |
