Abstract

Productive waqf not only covers financial aspects but also has a great influence on the social environment, as the funds generated are used to support various community needs, such as education, health, and poverty alleviation. Under the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of productive waqf becomes even more vital to meet the urgent needs of the community, create solidarity networks, and support social stability through sustainable social assistance. Effective productive waqf management can make a significant contribution to improving people^s welfare by ensuring that optimized waqf assets have a direct positive impact on the beneficiary community. This research is conducted descriptively analytically, with an empirical juridical approach, so the data used in this research are primary data, and secondary data. Primary data is collected by interviewing the subjects determined by the researcher, namely the authorized agency / institution, while secondary data is obtained from literature, laws and regulations and related documents. The problem is how the urgency and implementation of productive waqf in various countries and how the forms of productive waqf. The result is that the development of waqf in the social environment does not only occur in Islamic countries or countries where the majority of the population is Muslim. In the United States, for example, as a country where the Muslim population is still a minority, they are able to develop the existing waqf productively. To develop waqf assets, various programs are carried out that greatly support the increase of waqf assets. Programs related to the development and utilization of waqf assets receive a lot of support from various parties. This is clearly one of the success factors of the state in managing waqf in the social environment
