Abstract
Charitable bequest as an endowment (waqf) is one of the wealth redistribution measures encouraged in Islam to bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots. Such investments create flows of income/services of a charitable nature, in most cases, after the death of the endowers. Even though it is voluntary in nature, it is means to provide a continuous service to the needy in society and ensures a just and equitable distribution of wealth, and a means to seek God's blessings here and in the here-after.
