Abstract

The Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP) is the sole trustee for all waqf properties in the state of Penang. Previously, Seetee Aisah I Waqf Land has been successfully developed according to the wishes of the waqf giver. Thus, the success of the development of waqf land has been the trigger for MAINPP’s efforts to continue the development of waqf land in the future. Continuing from this success, MAINPP and the developer intend to continue its legacy through a more dynamic and innovative development, namely the Seetee Aisah II Waqf Land. However, there are significant issues and challenges that remain in the waqf property development process of Seetee Aisah II Waqf Land. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the issues and challenges of Seetee Aisah II Waqf Land development and subsequently suggest some possible solutions towards it. This study uses qualitative research methodology and the data was analyzed by adapting thematic and content analysis methods. The findings prove that there are several issues and challenges that arise and need to be addressed by MAINPP to ensure the development of Seetee Aisah II Waqf Land in Penang can run smoothly. The results of the study consist of several potential solutions that can be proposed to MAINPP and the developer in improving the process of Seetee Aisah II Waqf Land development so that waqf properties can be developed optimally and provide lucrative returns to the Muslim community in Penang.
