<![CDATA[This study examines the management of waqf at the Zakat and Waqf Administration Division of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Kudus Regency. The research employs a field research approach conducted at the Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Kudus Regency. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using qualitative methods: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The study focuses on waqf management patterns, inhibiting and supporting factors in waqf management, and the types of waqf administered. The findings reveal that waqf management in Kudus Regency remains largely conventional and has experienced stagnation. This condition is mainly caused by the limited understanding of nazhir regarding productive waqf management, resulting in waqf being perceived primarily as a religious practice rather than an economic instrument. Consequently, many waqf assets, particularly waqf land, remain unproductive or neglected. Another contributing factor is the selection of nazhir based more on social status and trust than on professionalism and managerial competence. Additional inhibiting factors include low public awareness of the legal status of waqf land and the limited availability of qualified human resources. On the other hand, supporting factors include institutional support, increasing public legal awareness, and the provision of guidance and training programs for nazhir. The types of waqf managed include waqf khairi and waqf syuyu’ in the form of land, buildings, transportation facilities, and cash waqf. However, the management of cash waqf has not yet been implemented optimally.]]>
