<![CDATA[Waqf has significant potential as an Islamic philanthropic instrument to support community welfare when managed productively. In Kecamatan Sampung Ponorogo, most waqf assets are still used for consumptive purposes, such as mosques, prayer rooms, Islamic boarding schools, schools, and cemeteries, leaving their economic potential underutilized. This study aims to analyze the condition of waqf management, identify problems in the development of productive waqf, and formulate optimization efforts through the role of the Office of Religious Affairs in Kecamatan Sampung Ponorogo. This study used a descriptive qualitative method through field observation, updating waqf data, synchronizing register books with the Waqf Information System, and surveys of waqf asset utilization. The results show that waqf management has improved its administrative organization and its identification of productive waqf potential, including rice fields that can be used for agricultural activities. However, productive waqf optimization still faces several obstacles, including limited public understanding, insufficient nadzir capacity, discrepancies between manual and digital data, and technical problems in the Waqf Information System application. This study concludes that productive waqf development requires community education, capacity building for nadzir, strengthened digital administration, and professional management strategies so that waqf assets can provide sustainable economic benefits for the community.]]>
