The waqf (endowment) has been a major funding source for educational projects since the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and continues to be so in various forms across different eras and regions. Given the importance of waqf and its role in the development and support of Islamic education, this study titled "Waqf and Its Impact on Supporting and Developing Islamic Education and Its Contemporary Applications" aims to elucidate the permissibility of spending waqf funds on education, along with the opinions of Islamic jurists on this matter. The study also presents contemporary examples of waqf in the field of education. Utilizing descriptive, inductive, and analytical methodologies, the study seeks to achieve its objectives by clarifying the concept of waqf, its wisdom, legitimacy, essential elements, contemporary forms, and jurists' views on funding education and its beneficiaries.

Key words: Waqf, Islamic education, electronic waqf.
