520 |a Waqf is "the permanent endowment by a Muslim of any of hisproperty for a purpose recognized by the Muslim Law as religious, pious orcharitable." It played a prominent role in the socio-economic and culturaldevelopment of the Muslim society in Bengal. Although Waqf governancecould not develop into an institutional shape during the Muslim rule inBengal (1204-1757), yet, Waqf contribution was the driving force behind theenlightened educational and cultural development of the then Muslim society.Waqf governance started to be formulated legally in Bengal during the colonialera (1757-1947). The first laws were enforced in 1894 through the declarationof the Privy Council, in which family Waqf was made invalid. It was repealedby "The Mussalman Waqf Validating Act 1913", which was the first formallegal formulation to Waqf governance in British India including Bengal. Somechanges were incorporated into it with ‘the Bengal Waqf Act 1934’. After 1947,it was amended in Pakistan and renamed as "the East Pakistan Waqf Ordinance1962". Since the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the ordinance was stillgoverning Waqf administration of Bangladesh with some amendments madein it by the several Ordinances and Acts of 1988, 1998 and 2013. Thus, Waqfgovernance in Bangladesh has gone through different phases. This paper aimsat understanding different stages of the development of Waqf governance inBangladesh with a view to identify its basic challenges and then recommendfurther development to get the best results from Waqf in the country for thedevelopment of the community and society at large.
