Abstract

Keyakinan para masyarakat terhadap aspek tadbir urus wakaf amat penting dinilai oleh pihak Majlis Agama Islam Negeri (MAIN) kerana mereka berpeluang menjadi sebagai waqif atau pewakaf. Sebagai waqif, mereka mempunyai hak dalam menentukan bentuk mawquf alaih selari dengan kehendak perundangan iaitu Enakmen Wakaf Terengganu 2016. Beberapa kajian lepas membuktikan bahawa kefahaman masyarakat tentang kedudukan mawquf alaih masih tertumpu kepada skop yang lebih kecil iaitu berkisar kepada wakaf tradisional seperti tapak masjid, surau dan perkuburan Islam. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini akan menerokai kedudukan mawquf alaih serta agihan manfaat wakaf di Terengganu di bawah pentadbiran Majlis Agama Islam Dan Adat Melayu Terengganu (MAIDAM). Kajian kualitatif ini dijalankan dengan menemubual salah seorang kakitangan wakaf di MAIDAM bagi memperoleh data-data yang tepat mengenai kajian tentang mawquf alaih dan agihan manfaat. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis melalui kaedah analisis kandungan ‘content analysis’. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa masih ramai masyarakat di Terengganu berwakaf khususnya tanah-tanah mereka diwakafkan bagi maksud mawquf alaih dalam bentuk keagamaan, manakala agihan manfaat pula banyak digunakan dalam sektor pendidikan. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini mencadangkan agar pihak yang mengurus wakaf iaitu MAIDAM perlu mempertingkatkan lagi kesedaran para masyarakat tentang kedudukan mawquf alaih dan juga memperluaskan agihan dana manfaat wakaf selari dengan keperluan semasa.

The community's confidence in waqf governance is critical to be assessed by the State Islamic Religious Council (MAIN) because they are waqifs or endowments. Waqifs have the right to determine the form of mawquf alaih in line with the requirements of the law, which is the Terengganu Waqf Enactment 2016. Several past studies prove that the public's understanding of the position of mawquf alaih is still focused on a smaller scope, which revolves around traditional waqfs such as mosque sites, surau’s and Islamic cemeteries. Accordingly, this study will explore the position of mawquf alaih and the distribution of waqf benefits in Terengganu under the administration of the Terengganu Council of Islamic Religion and Malay Customs (MAIDAM). This qualitative study was conducted by interviewing one of the waqf staff at MAIDAM to obtain accurate data on the study of mawquf alaih and the distribution of benefits. The data obtained is analyzed through the method of content analysis. This study found that there are still many people in Terengganu who have waqf, especially their lands, which are used as mawquf alaih in religious form, while the benefits are widely used in the education sector. Accordingly, this study suggests that the party that manages waqf, namely MAIDAM, needs to increase awareness to ensure that about mawquf alaih and at the same time, MAIDAM also increases the distribution of waqf benefits in line with the same needs.
