      abstract = {This book presents successful case studies in Muslim and  Muslim minority countries that have revolutionized the  redevelopment of idle waqf properties into productive land  trusts. The revival of this institution over the last two  decades shows the growing optimism in galvanizing the  socioeconomic role of waqf by adopting its flexible shariah  measures. Innovative ways of financing redevelopment allow  Muslims to extend these roles to include new beneficiaries.  New uses for these properties include providing services to  the community, opening jobs for the majority of people,  funding small entrepreneurs, educating the masses,  providing health care, and sheltering the poor and needy.  Countries under study include Sudan, Turkey, Malaysia,  Indonesia, Singapore, New Zealand, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and  Iran. Additionally, the book examines the International  Development Bank's role in financing the development old  waqf properties in different countries.},
