THE CONCEPT OF WAQF FROM WORLDVIEW THEORY: The Study of Sharia-Philosophy
Abstract
This article describes the structure of the waqf concept from a worldview
theory perspective. Worldview is simply a fundamental belief system
concerning God, reality, man and truth, ethics, etc.; which serves as a guide
for human life. A person's worldview will determine his behavior and actions.
The next question is what kind of belief concept makes someone willing to do
waqf? This article is a literature review that employs qualitative data with a
philosophical approach. The data analysis method employs content analysis of
data sources from the library. The result shows that the worldview analysis on
waqf is a concept that was emerging from the Islamic worldview whose
emergence was supported by various other fundamental concepts such as God,
Prophets, Revelation, and Sharia (religion). It proves that the structure of the
waqf concept is not as simple as handing over the property to Allah for the
benefit of others. The peculiarity of such waqf concept seems impossible to be
affirmed by the secular Western worldview, which is unable to affirm the
concept of revelation, the Prophet, and religion. It also proves that the
philosophical foundation of a waqf concept built on an Islamic worldview is
very consistent, solid, and even has a broad spectrum that spans the worldly
and the hereafter visions simultaneously.
