Abstract

Waqf has played an important role throughout the Islamic civilization by providing support to many essential services in different areas of life without inflicting cost to the authority. Despite its glorious history, the role of waqf institutions has faded away from the 19th century till today. Most of the waqf assets have been left unproductive and become a burden to all Muslim countries, including Sudan. This chapter aims to show the developments of waqf institution in Sudan and emphasize on the importance of reviving it. The findings of this chapter reveal that since building the first masjid in Sudan in the first century of hijrah the creation of waqf started, not only in terms of masjid only but it took many forms such as Islamic schools, kindergarten, libraries, colleges clinics, universes, pharmacy, shops, houses, hotels, stores, agriculture lands, petrol station, offices restaurant mills, butcheries and wells.
