Abstrak

This study examines the role of waqf-based economic empowerment in promoting sustainable community development. It focuses on the productive utilization of waqf assets, institutional governance, community capacity building, and the sustainability of socioeconomic benefits. 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. The findings indicate that productive waqf has considerable potential to strengthen community economic independence through productive financing, entrepreneurship development, employment generation, and improved access to economic resources. 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. This study contributes to Islamic social finance literature by conceptualizing productive waqf as an integrated instrument for economic empowerment and sustainable community development.
