“…Moreover, Carabain & Bekkers (2012) find that Muslim donors in the Netherlands are less likely to engage in secular giving than Protestants and Catholics. Authors argue that philanthropy in Islamic teachings focuses more on supporting fellow Muslims and Islamic institutions, than in Christian teachings.…”

This research investigates motivations to donate to charity among Muslims living in the UK. The research conducts in-depth interviews and explores charitable causes which Muslims support while examining the extent to which Muslims integrate religion into charitable donation behavior. Participants support a range of charitable causes-both internationally and locally that allows them develop a sense of attachment and interdependence with others. Findings point to five ways in which religiousness manifests itself in the context of charitable behavior: role modelling, seeking rewards in the hereafter, seeking self-satisfaction, avoiding guilt and seeking congruence. The paper discusses implications for theory and for practice.

“…Generally, CashWaqf has great potential and a major role in helping higher education institutions in terms of helping students financially as well as institutions in their own right (Carabain & Bekkers, 2011).In addition, Carabain, and Bekkers (2011) showed that Muslims have a relatively high rate of religious giving behavior.The two most critical kind of Islamic charitable giving are Waqf which known as a voluntary charitable gift and zakat also known as a compulsory charity (Idris & Bidin, 2009). b. Religiosity In this study, the researcher determines the level of religiosity able to be one of the predictors to the intention of Waqif to participate in CashWaqf giving scheme.…”

The advertisement made by the Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad (BMMB) was the major cause for a CashWaqf gained popularity in Malaysia partly, the first Islamic banking establishment to manage CashWaqf together with Perbadanan Wakaf Selangor (PWS). The aim of this study is to investigate the determinants of CashWaqf participation from the Malaysian perspective. This study is based on three variables used to determine factors that affect CashWaqf participation in Malaysia. The three variables that are measured in this current study are religiosity, subjective norm, and attitude.used an attitude theory as a baseline theory. The data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to 100 participants from Students at Kolej Insaniah Universiti. Based on multiple regression analysis and other statistical techniques, the findings of the study showed a significant relationship between religiosity, subjective norm, and attitude with CashWaqf participation. Given the results from the study, it highlights some limitations and suggestions for future studies that may be conducted in this scope.

“…The development of a master questionnaire will start with a critical review of the Giving in the Netherlands Panel Survey (GINPS), a high quality survey measuring donations to charitable causes in the Netherlands in an extensive questionnaire module [28,100]. The module produces estimates which are valid (r = .85 between self-reports and archival records of donations received) [28] and reliable [104], also for non-native Dutch citizens with culturally different norms and traditions for giving [105].…”

Why do citizens in some countries take more responsibility for the well-being of others than in other countries? This project seeks to understand the genesis of prosociality, investigating its biological foundations, the influence of cultural traditions, and e ects of political, economic and legal structure. The dominant theory in economics views philanthropy as a solution to social illnesses that the market and the state are not solving, a view complementary to political science theory on preferences for government provision. Sociologists focus on social norms emerging from religious traditions. Cultural evolutionary theory highlights the instrumental value of trust. Still other theories have suggested a role for natural selection of genes. However, these theories have not been tested stringently nor simultaneously. Also the project includes a very important factor largely ignored thus far: political, legal and economic institutions also a ect the level of giving as well as who gives to which causes. Therefore, the objectives of Global Giving are (1) to map country di erences in the size and nature of philanthropy across the world; (2) to develop and test multidisciplinary theories explaining these di erences; (3) to facilitate international collaboration across disciplinary boundaries in research on philanthropy. The research draws upon 200 surveys recently harmonized by the PI and on new data on philanthropy to be collected among large samples in 145 countries across all continents. Collaboration with international networks of academics safeguards the validity of the questionnaires and experiments. Appropriate multilevel regression models will be used, the lack of which caused biases in previous research. An integrated understanding of philanthropy is useful not only for theory development, but also for government policy makers and practitioners in nonprofit organizations seeking to mobilize philanthropic contributions and make them more e ective. The application in practice is ensured through collaboration with a large network of practitioners.
