| dc.description.abstract | The development of Islamic economics and finance not only concerns on commercial issues, but also social finance (such as zakah, infaq and waqf). Since the Prophet Muhammad Rasulullah period, Waqf has been developed and played a major role in the socioeconomic of Muslim. On his arrival at Madinah in the first year of Hijrah, he constructed a mosque known as Quba. Subsequently, the Prophet built a new mosque known as Masjid an-Nabawi due to the increasing number of people who converted to Islam. In addition, the example of waqf in practical level when the Prophet encouraged Utsman ibn ‘Affan to buy Rumah well of water and finally he declared it as waqf to provide water for all citizens. Currently, this heritage has been extended to accommodate the need of society from across the world.
Based on the historical foundation, it would be extremely necessary supported by education and research related to Islamic social finance in an attempt to increase the welfare of the Ummah. Hopefully this conference will be one of the efforts in providing enlightenment and insight related to Islamic social finance and Islamic economics continues to grow worldwide, and provide benefits and prosperity for all mankind as well as the entire universe (rahmatan lil Alamein). | en_US |
