الوقف في القرن الحادي والعشرين

سياق البرنامج
This workshop is part of the Market-Development Suite, positioning the AAOIFI Centre as a specialist reference on Waqf finance and Islamic social economy. Institutional and regulatory interest in Waqf is growing across OIC member states, creating demand for specialist technical capability.

Why This Programme Matters
Working with Waqf requires an integrated understanding of the Shari’ah framework, governance requirements, and accounting standards that govern it. This workshop addresses all three dimensions systematically, with a focus on practical application and the sustainability challenges facing Waqf institutions in the contemporary environment.

Programme Approach
Delivered in Arabic over two days in a hybrid format. Combines presentations, case studies, illustrative accounting examples, and group discussion.
