A documentary analysis was carried out to extract any relevant information on Waqf education. Waqf education has been found to be an important instrument for educational development. The result of the document analysis shows that Waqf education can form a collaborative network in the effort to develop educational institutions between the members of the community and education management especially higher education in Malaysia. It is suitable for establishing a strong financial support for underprevilaged communities. Among the biggest contributions of Waqf education is that it can reduce the government's burden in financial expenses and assist the students who are facing financial problems in institutions of higher learning. It is evident that students gained many benefits through the distribution of Waqf education. Hence, the Waqf education model is an alternative for higher education financing that is vital and capable of being applied worldwide.

Students are expected to be well-prepared before coming to face-to-face sessions since they have to read/watch/listen to the lectures through the learning management system (LMS) or an e-learning portal before coming to the classes. What traditionally was practised is that students were given lectures during faceto-face sessions. Now, the lectures are online, and only activities to enhance students' understanding will take place during face-to-face sessions. The concept is now being implemented successfully in some higher learning institutions in Malaysia, including

University stakeholders aspire to have any educational technologies employed be sustainable beyond short-term solutions. Identifying these sustainable factors requires reviews of recent studies, particularly with the insightful experience of the recent pandemic. Unfortunately, systematic reviews on sustainability were few and focused more on specific modalities.
Hence, this present study reviewed past studies (published between 2015 and 2021) to identify the types of educational technology or modality being studied on the aspects of sustainability, the topic of interests that contribute to the challenges in online learning, and the themes and subthemes that are critical to the sustainable use of online education. Guided by the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta analyses (PRISMA) to review five journal databases (Scopus, ProQuest, Web of Science (WoS), Emerald and Google Scholar), 44 articles were analysed systematically. Four themes emerged from the analysis: technology related, teaching and learning, ethical aspects, and instructional support, as well as 12 subthemes.
A conceptual framework was proposed, and other recommendations were discussed at the end of the paper for future research.
