Characteristics and Techniques of Future Studies most Appropriate for al-Waqf Sector

Abstract

This study examines the most appropriate futures studies techniques for the al-Wakf sector, highlighting their characteristics specific to the endowment phenomenon. The paper presents practical models for each of these techniques specific to the al-Waqf field. Based on examining and analysing these characteristics, the study concludes by recommending fourteen futures studies techniques for studying the al-Waqf phenomenon. These techniques are intended to enhance a shared understanding and future outlook for understanding al-Waqf as an industry with a long history among Muslims and a promising future that can contribute to local development in all its aspects, particularly social and economic. These techniques can produce results and recommendations for the al-Waqf sector, given their coherence and ability to grasp some of the ambiguity or nature of the al-Waqf phenomenon and explore its depths. The study also highlights the potential for utilizing these techniques, either collectively or individually, in studying the future of the al-Waqf phenomenon.
