This article identifies six of such problematic issues which are globally confronting awqaf and hampering their utilization for the community’s betterment. These issues are: (1) An urgent need of conducting a survey of awqaf to determine their number, valuation, income, object, expenditure etc for devising an effective administrative policy. (2) Democratisation of waqf administration to allow muslim public participation to dilute the present state control. (3) To revisit the status of family awqaf and its pathetic condition today. (4) To search for alternatives to the colossal waste of waqf income on litigation. (5) The need to replace litigation with administrative action for the recovery of encroached properties. (6) To find ways of developing millions of dormant waqf properties, as this is the key to the treasure trove that remains untapped.
