INTRODUCTION In Islamic history, waqf has been known since the time of Rasulullah SAW because waqf was prescribed after the Prophet SAW moved to Medina, in the second year of Hijriyah. There are two opinions that have developed among Islamic jurisprudence experts (fuqaha ') about who was the first to implement the waqf shari'a. According to the opinion of some scholars, it was said that the first person to carry out waqf was Rasulullah SAW, namely the endowment of land belonging to the Prophet SAW to build a mosque. Rasulullah SAW in the third year of hijriyah once donated seven date palm gardens in Medina; among them are the A'raf, Shafiyah, Dalal, Barqah gardens, and other gardens.
