Lembaga Keuangan Wakaf dan Wakaf Tunai Serta Kontribusinya Terhadap Pengembangan dan Kesejahteraan Ekonomi

Abstract

Cash waqf is one of moslem societal innovation that need to be
socialized for the whole moslem. The development of cash waqf has a
strategic economy value. By the developing of cash waqf, some benefits
can be derived, such as: first, the amount of money waqf can be varied,
so everyone who only has limited money can start giving his waqf
without waiting for becoming a rich people or a landholder, so that by
the cash waqf program, the waqif (someone giving waqf) can do waqf
easier. Second, by money waqf, waqf properties which are an empty
land can be built for the building or to be processed as a farmland.
Third, the fund from cash waqf is also used to help some Islamic
educational institutions which their cash flow is unstable and can only
give their employees as much as needed. Fourth, in turn, hopefully
moslems can be more independent in developing education world
without depending on government’s educational budget that is more
limited time to time. Fifth, cash waqf fund can be used to empower
small enterprises that are still dominating this country. The collected
farm can be distributed for those enterprises and the profit sharing can
be used for the social need. Sixth, the cash waqf fund can help the
development of sharia banking, especially BPR Sharia. The benefit of
waqf fund, beside it is more eternal and long term, waqf fund is the
cheapest waqf that must become sharia banking target. By the existence
of institution concerning cash waqf, it is hoped for giving contribution
significantly to solve the problems relating the poverty and the
imbecility that strike this country.
