Muhammadiyah Nazhir Organization : is That Productive Waqf Literacy Needed?

Abstract

Nazir has a critical role in developing or not a waqf property. No matter how big the waqf property is, if the skills and reliability of nazir are not addressed, then the waqf property will be idle and not used, for example, waqf land managed by Muhammadiyah. In managing productive waqf within Muhammadiyah, the main challenge is Nazir's ability to manage waqf assets mandated by the Waqif. This study aims to determine the extent to which Nazir Muhammadiyah needs productive waqf literacy for the sustainability and benefit of waqf assets. The survey is descriptive qualitative, data obtained from interviews, observations, and questionnaires to waqf managers within Muhammadiyah. The results showed that Nazir had a high level of understanding, analysis, and management of productive waqf and abilities that were categorized as medium. However, they need in-depth training related to productive waqf models that are suitable to be applied to available waqf property or land.
