Furthermore, the demographic bonus presents an opportunity to empower the younger generation through education and skills funded by zakat and waqf.

This initiative is expected to significantly impact poverty alleviation and improve community welfare. Innovative management of zakat and waqf, including corporate waqf and stock waqf, is being encouraged to remain relevant in today’s investment landscape.

The WZWF conference included sessions where experts shared best practices, innovative solutions, and the latest frameworks for waqf and zakat management. These discussions are vital for ensuring that these financial instruments can adapt to modern challenges and provide tangible benefits to society.

As Indonesia continues to explore and expand the potential of waqf, the collaboration between government bodies, international organizations, and community leaders will be crucial in realizing this vision. The hope is that through these efforts, waqf can emerge as a powerful tool for economic transformation and social development.

The focus on waqf not only aims to stimulate economic growth but also to foster a culture of giving and mutual support, which is essential for building a resilient and prosperous society in Indonesia. (Uki Ruknuddin)
