Abstract

The reality in Indonesia reveals a significant gap between the ideal potential of waqf (Islamic endowment) and the actual state of its management. National data indicates that a large portion of waqf assets—particularly land—remains neglected and has not been managed productively. This study aims to analyze the role of the Bogor Regency Government in managing neglected waqf land and to formulate an effective empowerment model to alleviate extreme poverty. The research employs a normative-juridical method with an empirical approach, utilizing literature reviews, interviews, and an analysis of local policies. The findings are expected to provide concrete policy recommendations for the local government on utilizing waqf land as an instrument for poverty alleviation. Synergistic collaboration among the local government, waqf institutions, and the community is crucial for optimizing the management of waqf assets. Key steps to transform neglected waqf land into productive assets that contribute to poverty alleviation include the engagement of professional nazhir (managers), the drafting of specific local regulations (Perda) on waqf, and the implementation of Sharia-compliant financing schemes.
