Abstract

The implementation of waqf has been happening in many regions in Indonesia. The essence of waqf as a form of worship that brings great rewards and community welfare should be managed properly by professional nadzirs, not the other way around. Various problems have occurred in various regions, resulting in the management of waqf not maximizing and not achieving common goals. This research uses a normative juridical approach that is descriptive analytical by using various theories in legal science related to the process of implementing waqf within the framework of positive legal development in Indonesia. The problems of waqf management in Indonesia so far have been caused by the lack of socialization about waqf by a less aggressive government, waqf management and management that is not in accordance with the rules, limited human resources (nadzir) who meet the requirements and weak control systems in supervision to be less effective in its application in society. The problems that exist so far show that they arise from external factors, namely legal subjects who have not experienced limitations and sufficient knowledge in managing waqf properly and correctly according to the rules of law and Islamic religious law. For this reason, it is necessary to supervise the management of waqf by the government and society so that strict supervision is expected that waqf in Indonesia can be managed properly so that the results can be utilized to empower the quality of life of the people.
