      abstract = {In Islam, philanthropy is a spectrum of activity, and  these activities differ in their purpose and in the  principles on which they operate. To fully understand  philanthropy, it is vital to examine not only its purpose  but its motive and outcomes. This book identifies three  types of philanthropy within this spectrum: Philanthropy as  relief (zakat), which seeks to alleviate human suffering;  philanthropy as an improvement (waqf), which seeks to  maximize individual human potential and is energized by a  principle that seeks to progress individuals and their  society; and philanthropy as reform (sadaqah), which seeks  to solve social problems. Philanthropy as civic engagement  seeks to build better community structures and services and  is directed by civic responsibility. This book explores  philanthropy in Islam that covers the three primary spectra  of activity: zakat, waqf, and sadaqah. Combining  contributions from the Conference on Philanthropy for  Humanitarian Aid under the joint organization of Sultan  Sharif Ali Islamic University and the International  Research Centre of Islamic Economics and Finance,  International Islamic University College in collaboration  with the Islamic Research and Training Institute, this book  will be of interest to students, policymakers,  practitioners, and researchers in the areas of Islamic  finance and Islamic economics.},
