Abstract
This paper unveils the Philanthropic perspective of Khanqahs and shrines of Sufi Saints entrenched in Islamic Ideology. These have always served as significant training centers and substantially contributed towards the religious, social and spiritual upbringing of humanity at large. Furthermore, these institutions have staged a significant role in relieving the sufferings and grappling with social and economic issues especially of the lower rung of society. The founders of these Khanqahs were great Islamic figures who set aside their entire span of life for Philanthropic ends to promote peace and sublime moral values and thus to rid the society of religious, political and economic ills corroding humanistic bounds. After the decease of these sacred figures, their shrines became great Socio-Religious institutions and hence took the form of Philanthropic organizations meant for the welfare of needy and poverty – stricken humanity. These institutions are striving to their utmost in various directions. They have set up schools, free lodges, established health centers, hospitals, orphan care homes and places where hungry and needy could feed them self for free etc. The present study explores the concept of Philanthropy underlying the injunctions of Islam. The research has been delimited to five major shrines in Pakistan for data collection. A detailed questionnaire was filled up by the target research population. It followed a mixed paradigm, qualitative as well as quantitative. The study will not only dilate on the positive aspects but also on the lacunas in the role model of Khanqahs and shrines as, institutions in Pakistan.

Abstract
Prior research has shown that peoples utility can be obtained by doing consumption or spending money to fulfill their needs. This research demonstrates that people who spend their money not to fulfill their needs, but to others also matters for their utility. Using the data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (wave 4 and wave 5) with 26,464 observations, we estimate the correlation between prosocial expenditure and subjective well-being. The result of the probit model estimation showed that prosocial expenditure has a positive correlation to subjective well-being. On average, people who spend more on charity are happier than people who spend less on it. We also found that preschool expenditure between Muslim and nonmuslim observations has a different effect on happiness and life satisfaction. The theoretical framework and implications are discussed.

One form of acculturation of the Osing Tribe culture with Islamic values is evident in the Osing tribal farming system.

Per 31 December 2015, the potential of zakat in Indonesia was recorded to be 286 trillion rupiahs, while the actual amount of collected zakat was recorded to be only 3.75 trilion rupiahs. This fact shows that zakat management has not been optimally done. The objective of this study is to assess and evaluate the performance of zakat management including the contribution of government, contribution of society, zakat institution performance, and the impact of zakat on the society-s prosperity in Kotabaru Regency, South Borneo.

Abstract
The paper aims to look at the impact of zakat on mustahik receiving zakat through empowerment programs which do not directly provide cash as an additional income to them. The impact is measured by General Poverty Index and BAZNAS Welfare Index using four measurement standards, namely poverty line, had kifayah, rice nishab and gold nishab. By taking 243 households as sample, the results show that zakat distribution through empowerment programs has a good impact on the welfare of mustahik.

Abstract
In waqf sector, comparison between budget and realization of the state budget (APBN) represents the mainstream information that available for public access. On other hand, there is a mechanism in which the result or success become prerequisite for investment return, hence equipped with measurable explicit outcome called as Social Impact Bond (SIB). SIB is acknowledged as an innovative financial instrument that enable impact investment scheme by blending both social and financial return at the same time. As some studies associated SIB concept with social finance and Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) which contains value of maqasid shariah, Islamic finance may take lesson from it. Unfortunately, the concept of SIB not yet become popular in Indonesia, as the largest Muslim population country. Acknowledged this situation, current paper aims to synthesize the concept of SIB and identify its existing models across jurisdictions. Take lesson from SIB-s characteristics, this paper will also propose partnership model in waqf sector, which essentially embraces impact investment in nature. Meta-synthesis of the literatures on SIB is employed in this study. Review of existing reports and publications by relevant institutions complement the systematic literature review (SLR) in current study. This study represents the pioneer work that attempts to elaborate SIB concept and waqf within Indonesian environment

Abstract
The function of waqf institution, which is an integral pillar of the third sector of an ideal Islamic economy, is to contribute towards provision of a social security net to those falling within its vicinities. The value proposition of waqf lies in effectively cascading wealth and benefits of resources to the neglected or comparatively disadvantaged sectors of an economy. Similarly, waqf is equally envisaged to support informal economy by responding to, and patronising the un-organized sectors. To this end, it is critical to identify the existing gaps in the areas of public and private sectors- spending for waqf to effectively fulfil its socio-economic objectives. By targeting the resource-deficient pockets of the economy on priority basis, the utility of waqf-resources can be maximized, which, in turn, reinforces the building blocks of the real economy. This paper argues that the institution of waqf needs to adopt a bottom-up approach in its socio-economic targets in order to optimise its contribution towards real economy in a socially responsible manner. The bottom-up approach calibrated with the sense of Islamic social responsibility is based in sequencing the progression of waqf-based benefits-coverage from necessities to needs and luxuries as per the hierarchy of maqasid-al-shariah. By adopting the framework of maqasid hierarchy, a self-regulatory paradigm can be established for the allocation of awqaf benefits more effectively. The paper critically analyses the moral philosophy, the value proposition and functional mechanism of an ideal waqf followed by pinpointing the key policy recommendations to enhance the role of modern waqf institution. It argues for the introduction and promotion of parallel waqf concept, particularly, in the context of a family waqf. Additionally, the study postulates linking the expected sum of virtues (ajr/thawab) for the waqif with the generated benefits from his/her underlying waqf. Finally, the study argues the merits of consultation mechanism for the potential waqif prior to creation of a waqf in order to maximise the contribution and value addition of his/her underlying waqf benefits. The paper is an outcome of a library-based research, and it adopts socio-legal research paradigm for the analysis of the available literature. To determine the moral philosophy of waqf along with its socio-economic objectives, the primary and secondary sources of shariah including the classical and contemporary fiqh literature have been consulted and referred to.

Abstract
Recently, there has been renewed interest among the interdisciplinary discussion in the topic of Zakat and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The current practice of Zakat distribution by The National Board of Zakat, Republic of Indonesia (BAZNAS), has been innovative. Among the recent projects is the construction of lavatories in some of the underdeveloped villages in Indonesia. This practice has contributed to the idea that Zakat not only promotes the SDGs of zero poverty and no hunger but also advances the sustainability of clean water and sanitation (SDGs No. 6). However, this notion demands an extensive academic explanation. Hence, this paper aims to explore the subject matters by conducting a case study from BAZNAS- project in Boyolali, Indonesia, which the data are collected through observation and semi-structured interviews. The findings validate the relationship among health, water and sanitation. Further, the involvement of the local government implies that such proper sanitation is achievable through collaborative works. This is the first paper to resolutely crediting scholarly-based evidence about the impact of Zakat fund for the sustainability of clean water and sanitation. This study is relevant for academics, Zakat institution, the Indonesian government, and other related stakeholders of SDGs.
