Skill Waqf as a Mechanism for Economic Empowerment of Youth: A Comprehensive Literature Review Grounded in Islamic Economic Principles
Kata Kunci:
Skill Waqf, Youth Empowerment, Productive Waqf, Islamic EconomicsAbstrak
This investigation delves into skill waqf as a pioneering variant of productive waqf aimed at economically empowering the youth within the context of Islamic economic paradigms. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, a total of 29 scholarly publications disseminated between 2013 and 2024 were scrutinized to evaluate the implementation, advantages, and obstacles associated with skill waqf across diverse socio-economic environments. The results indicate that skill waqf—characterized as the endowment of knowledge, technical competencies, and professional acumen—significantly contributes to the enhancement of employability, entrepreneurship, and human capital development among Muslim youth. Furthermore, the practice of skill waqf is congruent with fundamental Islamic values such as maslahah (public benefit), justice, amanah (trust), and a tawhidic socio-economic vision. Nonetheless, the practical execution of skill waqf continues to encounter regulatory, institutional, and technological impediments. This manuscript advocates for the fortification of institutional partnerships, digital infrastructures, and legal frameworks to mainstream skill waqf as a scalable paradigm for inclusive and ethical youth empowerment within Muslim societies.
