Abstract The study of the role of waqf in empowering the Bangsamoro communities in the Philippines provides fresh insights into the potential benefits that waqf, a traditional Islamic endowment practice, may bring to these communities. The research explores how waqf when strategically utilized, could address persistent socio-economic challenges such as lack of funding for a business, inadequate health services, and the inaccessibility of quality education. Using survey data collected from Bangsamoro communities across various demographics, we examine the residents' perspectives on the potential effectiveness and viability of deploying waqf's resources to solve capital problems for businesses, provide health services, and support education for various family members. The data also measures the perceived potential of using waqf sources for initiating business training centers for the poor and promoting overall community development. The analysis sheds invaluable light on the practicalities of incorporating waqf within the existing systems, uncovering its viability as a tool for the empowerment and socio-economic advancement of Bangsamoro communities. This research contributes to the discourse surrounding sustainable, culturally relevant strategies for the utilization of traditional practices in contemporary contexts, providing a seminal resource for policymakers, academicians, and development practitioners interested in the intersection of economic development and cultural traditions.
