Political and Social Aspects of Islamic Religious Endowments (awqāf): Saladin in Cairo (1169-73) and Jerusalem (1187-93) [Elektronische Daten] [Yehoshuՙa Frenkel] The Ayyubid Sultan Salā al-Dīn (Saladin) used the pious endowment (waqf, pl. awqāf; alternatively ubs, hubūs, pi. abās) as a major instrument in his efforts to gain political and military control over Egypt and Syria. In pursuit of this aim, he systematically converted properties belonging to his enemies into awqāf. The present study investigates some of the legal and social aspects of Saladin's waqf policy in the territories conquered by his armies. Here, I examine Saladin's endowment policy and his political aims from the viewpoint of the Sultan and his court. I will not reflect on the motives of the beneficiaries, those people of religion (al-mu῾ammamūn; literally ‘ the turbaned') who co-operated with him, even though ‘ mingling with the monarch' (malik or sultān) apparently clashed with some of the principles stipulated in guides for Suḟi novices.
