This research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. Data are analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification.

Furthermore, effective waqf management requires professional institutional governance, transparency, accountability, and strategic collaboration among relevant stakeholders. The study also identifies the importance of integrating economic productivity, social inclusion, institutional sustainability, and environmental responsibility to strengthen long-term community welfare.
