Makāteeb is plural of Kitāb, which literally means to write. Terminologically, the word Makāteeb is also used for letters and magazines. In this paper, the letters written by Shah Mazharullah Dehlawī, who died in 1966 AD, to his disciples, his style of training, the contents of the letters and especially the Aorād O Wazaif ordered in them will be covered. Their sources have been collected and determined and their Shariah status and legal position have been discussed by reviewing the reduction and numerical determination of words and words in order to help in understanding that what is the position and rank of the Aorād o Wazaif in Islam and what are their limits and restrictions. Are they obligatory like prayer, Fasting, Hajj and Zakāt or are they in the scope of Mustaḥab and Mustaḥsan? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, the importance of waqf (endowment) has emerged with increasing global interest in sustainable development. The revival of cash waqf as one of the most important types of waqf, as well as the advent of new uses, have resulted in the formation of new Fiqh (juristic) difficulties. This is due to the flexibility and efficiency of cash waqf in mobilizing financial resources for Islamic countries’ economic and social development programs. This paper discusses the importance of the juristic issues arising from waqf sukuk (bonds). These issues are zakat, rahn (collateral), and the exchange of waqf sukuk. The paper concludes that zakat is not obligatory on permanent and temporary waqf sukuk, neither on the waqf founder (sukuk holder) nor on the beneficiaries. A distinction is made between debt and qard in regard to the obligation of zakat on the creditor in debt but not in qard. The exchange of sukuk sukuk is discussed in light of juristic disagreement in replacing the waqf asset, adopting permissibility within the Shariah guidelines and precautions. Finally, this paper adopts the impossibility of using waqf sukuk as collateral by the sukuk holder in order to safeguard the waqf asset. This study, on the other hand, waqf sukuk accepts the permissibility in analogy to the permissibility of mortgaging the debt for the benefit of a third party other than the debtor, by using the temporary waqf sukuk as collateral by the sukuk holder.
