Vol. 5 No. 1 (2023): March 2023 Issue of the Journal of Islamic Philanthropy & Social Finance (JIPSF) features four articles that focus on key themes in Islamic social finance, wealth management, philanthropy, and community development. The issue explores the alignment of Islamic financial practices with the objectives of Maqasid Shariah, particularly through discussions on takaful reporting, corporate waqf as a model for ummah development, and the role of Islamic generosity in improving the well-being of individuals with autism. In addition, the issue examines wasiat beramanah (trust wills) as a comprehensive approach to Islamic estate planning in Malaysia. Collectively, the articles emphasize the importance of ethical financial governance, sustainable philanthropic initiatives, and effective wealth distribution mechanisms in promoting social welfare and long-term community empowerment. The issue offers valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in strengthening the impact of Islamic philanthropy and social finance in contemporary society.
