This book was released on 2014-06-29 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the current level and trend of poverty in the Muslim World, including selected countries in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, East Asia, the Pacific and South America. Authors explore themes of poverty reduction, poverty alleviation and the extent of influences on social and economic development, particularly natural resource endowments (especially mineral resources) and their utilization. Chapters explore theory and practice, including governance and programmes, and take a detailed look at Zakat as a faith-based policy tool, to reduce poverty and improve livelihoods and thus contribute to better environmental stewardship. The final chapters look at development questions in the Muslim World and make policy recommendations, including a proposed multi-dimensional development collaboration model called the Development Collaboration Octagon Model (DeCOM). Readers will discover theoretical explanations of poverty and how poverty hampers the development of many nations because the poor are unable to partake actively in the development process. Poverty indicators and measurement are discussed, and trends of economic growth including productivity, manufacturing, trade patterns, investment and saving activity, and socio-economic developments are all explored: supporting data is presented in tables and figures, throughout this text. Authors explore the potency and success stories of public poverty alleviation strategies and programmes pursued in the Muslim world, especially the extent to which the institution of Zakat has been effectively incorporated into public poverty alleviation strategies. Policy options required to enhance social and economic development are proposed, to help pull the poor out of the poverty trap into the mainstream economy in the Muslim world. This work will appeal to anyone wishing to scrutinise poverty, its parameters and its relationship with the development of countries in the Muslim world. Scholars in the fields of economics, sociology, geography and Islamic studies will all find something of value here.

Download or read book Financial Inclusion and Poverty Alleviation written by Muhamed Zulkhibri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the relationships between financial inclusion, poverty and inclusive development from Islamic perspectives. Financial inclusion has become an important global agenda and priority for policymakers and regulators in many Muslim countries for sustainable long-term economic growth. It has also become an integral part of many development institutions and multilateral development banks in efforts to promote inclusive growth. Many studies in economic development and poverty reduction suggest that financial inclusion matters. Financial inclusion, within the broader context of inclusive development, is viewed as an important means to tackle poverty and inequality and to address the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This book contributes to the literature on these topics and will be of interest to researchers and academics interested in Islamic finance and financial inclusion.

Download or read book A Socio legal Study of Zakah and Waqf as Instruments for Poverty Alleviation in Northern Nigeria with Reference to Malaysia and Kuwait written by Mahadi Ahmad and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zakah and Waqf are part of Islamic social funds meant for poverty alleviation. Using them as instruments for poverty alleviation in Northern Nigeria is therefore imperative. This region, though largely populated by Muslims, but it has a large number of people who dwell in abject poverty. Attempt to alleviate the poverty through faith-based instruments saw the enactment of Zakat and Endowment Boards’ Laws by some states of the region between 2000 and 2003. However, the dwindling figures of the zakah and waqf proceeds recorded in the region since 2000 to date are hard evidence that the current state of administering these institutions is feeble and that the laws have not actualised their aim. Consequently, this study examined the legal and regulatory framework of the two institutions in Northern Nigeria and investigated the factors that caused their weak performances. To get to the root cause of the problem, a socio-legal study was carried out with reference to best practices in Malaysia and Kuwait. The research employed multiple methodologies, empirical and non-empirical qualitative methods of inquiry. The empirical part used grounded theory research design and chose interview as the instrument for data collection and representative themes of the data were then analysed. The non-empirical method used inductive method of analysis. Findings of the study reveal that under Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, section 26 of CAMA 1990 and its Part C will be helpful in zakah and waqf-based poverty alleviation programme if registered by Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria. However, it has some limitations caused by its section 603 (1) that prohibits sharing profits to members, while such is permitted in waqf by some Muslim jurists if stipulated by the donors. Also, the states’ Zakat and Endowment Boards’ Laws seem adequate in term of zakah, but grossly inadequate with respect to waqf, in addition to being silent on the guardianship of SharÊÑah Court on waqf. Also, potential zakah and waqf payers and donors respectively have little or no trust in officials of the two institutions due to alleged political influence in their appointment. They preferred leadership of sound Islamic scholars headed by the emirs actively and not ceremoniously. In addition, the general public is unacquainted with the contemporary zakah and waqf fatÉwa and the majority of the staff of the two institutions lacks contemporary knowledge on making them instrumental in poverty alleviation. Also, the laws did not give the management a mandatory order on poverty alleviation. Therefore, the study recommends that the states’ laws be amended in order to make emirs as active heads of the two institutions, to rebrand and split the board into: Board of Zakat House and Board of People’s AwqÉf. It also suggests removal of inefficient directors and establishment of zakah and waqf tribunals for public grievances remedial measures.

Download or read book Sustainable Development and Infrastructure written by Amadou Thierno Diallo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books on Islamic finance and development issues are written from an academic perspective. Although academic reflection is key for future direction, dissatisfaction with previous development efforts, as evidenced by their lack of sustainability, suggests the need for a different type of review. Development work is complex and requires a detailed and transparent approach in order to ensure a cogent resolution for potential long-term issues. Each intervention area requires specific elaboration for meaningful impact. The perfect solution for one sector might be detrimental for another. Islamic finance, with its strict Riba restrictions, rules, and other checks and balances, is a good fit for infrastructure development in pursuit of sustainable development. When it comes to sustainable development, this book argues, Islamic finance has the tools to intervene for maximum impact. However, the issue of sustainability is not only related to Islamic finance; more policy discourse is needed. This requires guidance from the principles of Islamic economics, as well. This book discusses infrastructure development vis-à-vis sustainable development, drawn from decades of real-life development banking experience, and proposes impactful intervention methods based on wisdom from Islamic economics and finance.

Download or read book Human Security and Philanthropy written by Samiul Hasan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muslims for hundreds of years have been involved in philanthropic activities targeting poor and needy people through varied types of ‘third sector’ organizations (TSOs). Nonetheless, many people in Muslim majority countries (MMCs), not having freedom from hunger, face human security crises. Not much is known about the TSOs or their human security provisions in MMCs. To fill this knowledge gap, this Volume documents and analyses philanthropy and all types of third sector organizations including the awqaf (Muslim endowments) vis-à-vis human security in MMCs. The study is comprehensive in treating the subject matter (analyzing the legal environment, characteristics, extent and functioning of all forms of the third sector and their human security performances) and in geographic coverage (incorporating all forty-seven Muslim majority countries in Africa and Asia). It is also innovative expounding TSO density analysis, state support score (SSS) and a third-sector capability measure (TCM) to study their interrelationships. It is an essential unique reference book for students and scholars of the third sector and human security, international organizations, development agencies, donor governments, security experts and in particular anybody with interests in Islam and MMCs.
