Conference Research Method The method applied is a qualitative approach through field research, which aims to understand social phenomena or events by providing detailed descriptions of them, so that in the end they can produce theories. This research applies a qualitative descriptive approach, where data and facts are collected in the form of words or images, not through statistical procedures or other The focus of this research is on the Land Waqf Management system and its impact on community welfare. The research subject is the PC Muhammadiyah Majenang Waqf and Empowerment Council. Discussion The aim of waqf management is to maximize the potential of waqf to improve the economic and social welfare of the people. The use of waqf is not only for consumptive purposes but also in a productive form, so that the welfare of the people can increase in a sustainable manner. Currently, productive waqf is increasingly in demand because of the convenience it offers compared to consumer waqf. Productive waqf provides real feedback for the people and is more efficient in producing goods. Utilizing waqf for productive activities can be an alternative source of funding to strengthen the community's economy, for example waqf land used for agriculture can be managed by the community to generate profits. Waqf at PC Muhammadiyah (PCM) Majenang, which is coordinated by Nazir, namely the Waqf Utilization Council, is mostly in the form of buildings, such as mosques, prayer rooms, madrasas and Islamic boarding schools. The waqf that is managed productively is the rice field The management of this rice field is carried out by Nazir using a profit sharing system . In this system, rice fields are handed over to sharecroppers for planting after an agreement regarding the percentage of profit sharing is reached. According to the Nazirs' experience, this profit sharing system is much more profitable than other systems, such as rent. From the results of the author's research, it can be seen that the number of waqf assets in the Majenang PCM Waqf Utilization Council is quite large, which is a combination of eight branches in Majenang. Of the total waqf assets, some have been managed productively to produce something, such as building clinics, schools, mosques, etc. As for the Social Religious sector, these waqf assets are managed to be used as buildings, such as mosques and prayer rooms, but the management is not carried out by the Waqf Council, but by other charities from various assemblies in the Muhammadiyah Organizational Structure, such as schools under the auspices of the Council. Dikdasmen. PKU which is under the auspices of the General Health Services Council, cooperatives which are under the auspices of the Economic Council, and others. At the Majenang PCM Waqf Utilization Council, there are 67 waqf locations which are used for the education sector, 30 waqf locations, starting from PAUD/Kindergarten level to vocational school level. For places of worship there are 28 waqf locations, while for health there is 1 location. This shows that the management of waqf land carried out by MPW PCM Majenang has great potential to improve the welfare of the surrounding community, especially in each Muhammadiyah Nazir, who is responsible for waqf management, has succeeded in making the existing waqf productive, so that the goals of the waqf can be achieved. The results of waqf management can then be distributed according to their intended use. Based on these facts, success or failure in managing productive waqf in several Muhammadiyah Branch Leaders (PRM) is largely determined by the role of the manager . Nazir has an important responsibility in ensuring that the waqf is managed productively in PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference Volume 1. Desember 2024 PROCEEDING The Future is Now: Adaptation to the Al Ghazali Internasional WorldAos Emerging Technologies e-issn. Conference accordance with the waqf's objectives, so that the proceeds are distributed appropriately. According to fiqh, apart from having to be a Muslim and amukallaf, a nazir must also have professional skills in managing waqf, as well as being trustworthy, honest and fair. To manage productive waqf, there are four principles that must be adhered to, namely: eternity of benefits, accountability, management professionalism, and social justice. Based on field research, it was found that waqf nazir in several Muhammadiyah PCM Majenang branches still lack creativity and innovation in managing productive waqf, especially the rice fields they own. Nazir tends to only manage and distribute the results of the waqf in accordance with the pledge set by the wakif, which allocates rice fields as assets for the mosque. As professional Nazirs, they should be able to look for new innovations, both in the management and distribution of waqf proceeds. For this reason, ongoing guidance and training is needed for waqf nazir in the Majenang PCM Muhammadiyah Branch Leaders so that they have good management skills, so they can manage waqf more productively. Apart from that, it is necessary to pay attention to the principle of Nazir welfare so that Nazir work is no longer positioned as a social worker alone, but as a professional job that allows them to make a decent living from this profession. Apart from having a professional nazir, strategy in management also occupies the top and most important position in managing waqf assets. The benefits and development of waqf really depend on the management pattern implemented. This form of waqf land management can be realized in businesses that generate profits, either through goods or services. The pattern of managing waqf land through productive businesses can be carried out if the Nazir has sufficient funds to finance the business operations. However, generally the wakifs, who handed over land to the nazir, were not accompanied by the necessary financing elements. To manage, empower and develop productive and strategic waqf land, where almost all wakifs handed over their land to Nazirs without including funds to finance productive business operations, was of course a quite serious problem. Therefore, a real strategy is needed so that the large amount of waqf land can be utilized for the benefit of community welfare. Even though waqf has played a very important role in the development of society, especially Muslim society, in reality, the issue of waqf has not been managed well and optimally. Therefore, it is time to further study, analyze and implement management strategies in the context of sustainable development of waqf. Thus, waqf assets, especially strategic waqf land, can be used as a real alternative in empowering the people's economy. There needs to be innovation in developing waqf through other productive businesses, for example, managing waqf in the form of rice fields can be combined with fish cultivation or planting vegetables in the surrounding areas, so that rice fields become more productive and do not only depend on rice harvests alone. Apart from that, waqf development can also be done by establishing business partnerships, providing working capital assistance, or creating new jobs. In this way, the existing waqf at MPW PCM Majenang can be expanded. Currently, the waqf that is managed is only productive agricultural land, which means that the welfare of the people has not been achieved Waqf in Islamic teachings is actually similar to an economic corporation, where there is capital to be developed and the profits are used for the benefit of the people. The eternity of waqf is guaranteed by the provision that waqf assets cannot be sold, converted into consumer goods, or left without being processed or utilized. Waqf assets must remain productive assets. In other words, at least theoretically, waqfs must always develop and even increase into new waqfs. PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference Volume 1. Desember 2024 PROCEEDING The Future is Now: Adaptation to the Al Ghazali Internasional WorldAos Emerging Technologies e-issn. Conference From research conducted in the field, it appears that productive waqf management still uses traditional patterns. The proceeds from waqf management tend to be used to prosper mosques and support the maintenance of educational infrastructure. Limited management strategies, such as profit sharing cooperation ('paroan') from rice cultivation on waqf paddy fields, have caused the development of existing waqfs to remain limited. In fact, if the results of waqf management in the form of agricultural land can be developed and utilized for other productive businesses, then the waqf at PCM Majenang can make a wider social contribution to society, for example by using the results from waqf management to buy land and set up a business Small businesses, such as rice mills, retail shops, cooperatives/BMT, or workshops, can open up new business opportunities for the community and make existing waqf more productive. To optimize waqf management, business partnerships with institutions, such as cooperatives or BMT, are needed. Through this collaboration, waqf management can be directed to more productive businesses. Collaboration between Nazir and cooperatives/BMT can also meet financing needs for business operations. Furthermore, a community development and empowerment program is needed through partnerships with community empowerment institutions that are professional and meet good institutional criteria. In waqf management handled by the Nazir, the responsibility for managing the waqf, such as rice fields, prayer room buildings, madrasas and Islamic boarding schools, is often handed over to the management of each of these buildings, rather than being the direct responsibility of the Nazir. This shows that the Nazir was not always involved in the management of the waqf which he initially received as a waqf recipient. As a nazir who is entrusted with managing waqf from the community, the nazir should have responsibility for managing and utilizing the waqf he receives. In this way, the nazir can ensure that the management and utilization of the waqf, including the buildings, is in accordance with the waqf pledge that was initially established. This is important to ensure that the social benefits of waqf can be achieved optimally in accordance with its initial objectives. Field research also revealed that waqf management at MPW PCM Majenang received little supervision from the community. Even though the Nazir is transparent and regularly conveys the results of productive waqf management, there is no effective monitoring mechanism from the The community completely entrusts the management of waqf to the nazir without any structured evaluation, making it difficult to assess the success of the nazir in carrying out his duties. This weak control has the potential to affect Nazir's performance because they do not receive adequate feedback for improvement and development. For this reason, active community participation in monitoring waqf management in their villages is very necessary. This aims to ensure that all activities and plans that have been designed run according to target, and so that the nazir can evaluate the extent to which success in managing waqf has been achieved. As part of Islamic teachings, waqf has a very important role. The teachings of waqf are related to the issue of natural resources as wealth and human resources as the subject of utilization. One of the very important issues is good and fair management, utilization and regulation to ensure prosperity, well-being and happiness, both in the short and long term, for humans. This is known as seeking happiness in this world and the hereafter to ensure human physical and spiritual satisfaction and well-being. Nazir's management of land waqf has had a significant impact on community welfare. The impacts of waqf management by Nazhir MPW PCM Majenang include the following: PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference Volume 1. Desember 2024 PROCEEDING The Future is Now: Adaptation to the Al Ghazali Internasional WorldAos Emerging Technologies e-issn. Conference Worship Area The use of waqf land by the Muhammadiyah Association has made a significant contribution in providing convenience for worship for Muslims throughout Indonesia. With this waqf land. Muhammadiyah Majenang has built and maintained more than 15 mosques and 30 prayer rooms. These places of worship are not only centers of religious activities, but also function as centers of social and educational activities for the surrounding community. Thanks to the support and active participation of the community, the use of waqf land helps Muhammadiyah in carrying out its mission of da'wah and social services, ensuring that the spiritual needs and welfare of the people can be well met. Agriculture and Plantation Sector The use of waqf land by PC Muhammadiyah Majenang is not only limited to building places of worship, but also includes the fields of Agriculture and Plantation. Waqf land managed for agricultural and plantation activities makes an important contribution to improving community welfare. Through empowerment programs. Muhammadiyah helps local farmers by providing training, superior seeds, and access to modern agricultural technology. The results from agriculture and plantations not only fulfill people's food needs, but also become a source of income that can be used to fund social and educational activities. Thus. Muhammadiyah's use of waqf land for agriculture and plantations plays an important role in supporting the economic independence of the people and strengthening national food security. Health Sector Muhammadiyah has become the largest health service management network in Indonesia after the government. Through the Majenang PCM Health Council, 1 PKU Muhammadiyah Majenang clinic has been established at Jl. Abdul Fatah RT 004 RW 002 Pahonjean Village. Majenang District. Education Sector One of the aspects that makes PC Muhammadiyah Majenang District increasingly developed is its ability to manage waqf assets from the community in a productive and transparent manner. According to data from the secretary of PCM Majenang. PCM Majenang has 12 waqf assets in the education sector, including SMK Muhammadiyah Majenang. SMA Taruna Muhammadiyah Majenang. Madrasah Aliyah Muhammadiyah Majenang. MTs Muhammadiyah Majenang. SMP Muhammadiyah Majenang. MIM Padangjaya. MIM Tahfidz Jenang. SDM Pahonjean. SDM Salebu. SDM Mulyasari. SDM Cilopadang, and SDM PK Jenang, as well as 10 PAUDs, 6 Aisyiysh Bustanul Atfal Kindergartens, and 2 Islamic Boarding Schools, namely Nurul Iman and PP Darul Arqam. Economic Sector The use of waqf land by the Muhammadiyah Association in the economic sector has provided a significant positive impact on the welfare of society. By managing waqf land for various economic activities, such as agriculture, plantations and other productive businesses. Muhammadiyah creates employment opportunities and increases community income. Apart from that. Muhammadiyah Majenang also developed two economic institutions, such as cooperatives and Muhammadiyah-owned business entities which function to manage the proceeds from the waqf land. The income generated from this economic activity is not only used for operational purposes, but also to fund various social and educational programs. With this approach. Muhammadiyah is able to optimize the potential of waqf land, not only for PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference Volume 1.
