Many studies have been conducted on waqf in various sectors which multifariously benefit and contribute to the Muslim society. Thus, the prime objective of this research is to study waqf in the education sector of the state of Negeri Sembilan as well as the development of waqf property by the Negeri Sembilan State Islamic Council (MAINS), the private sector and individuals. The research method used is qualitative involving literature review and field survey. Research results find that waqf in education sector in Negeri Sembilan evidently bring many benefits and facilities, particularly to the local society and generally to the Muslim community in Malaysia. As a result of this, the state government, private sector and individuals should be jointly responsible in developing waqf property and constantly ensure that waqf contributions optimally benefit the society.
