The Waqf Studies Centre at the General Directorate of Endowments, Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, will host a scientific seminar on Thursday, September 24, focusing on the book "Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Waqf and Charitable Work Terminology". This seminar is one of a series of academic sessions organized by the centre to showcase its specialised publications and underscore their research and knowledge value.
The event, which commences at 10am, will be presented by Dr. Atiya Al-Weishi, the author of the book, alongside Majd Makki, a Shariah expert at the General Directorate of Endowments who will moderate the discussion. The seminar will be accessible to the public via a live broadcast on the General Directorate of Endowments' YouTube channel.
This seminar is part of the Waqf Studies Centre's efforts to promote specialised research and publications on waqf and charitable work, enhancing the understanding and application of their contents through academic discourse. It also aims to bolster the work of researchers, students, and professionals in the fields of endowments and charity while enriching the specialised knowledge in these areas.
The "Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Waqf and Charitable Work Terminology" marks the ninth publication in the contemporary studies series issued by the Waqf Studies Centre. Funded by the Waqf Fund for Scientific and Cultural Development at the General Directorate of Endowments, this dictionary serves as an academic work that compiles terminology related to waqf and charitable activities, presenting them in an accessible dictionary format.
Each term is explained in detail, its meaning and concept elucidated, and it provides references to relevant sources.
The publication is aimed at providing researchers with a structured reference material to understand the terminology used in waqf studies and charitable work. Moreover, it seeks to ensure consistency in the academic use of terminology, thereby reducing potential confusion.
