Held In Trust
Waqf In The Islamic World
Overview
Waqfs (pious endowments) long held a crucial place in the political, economic, and social life of the Islamic world. This volume, which evolved from papers delivered at the 2005 American University in Cairo Annual History Seminar, offers a meticulous set of studies that fills a gap in our knowledge of waqf and its uses.
