Abstract

Waqaf is known in Islam as the Jariyyah charity worship that will be carried out after the death of a Muslim, but in this study the writer discusses that waqaf not only contributes to the worship of Islam alone even for the benefit of a country where it can prosper the Indonesian people to pay the country's debt. In 2019, the Government has established a sukuk cash waqaf link in cooperation with 2 Islamic banks, Muamalat Bank and BNI Syariah Bank, both banks collect funds from the public in the form of certified cash waqf. This is certainly very beneficial for the State of Indonesia where every Muslim and non-Muslim who has excess or no excess assets makes cash waqaf at the bank. In this study the authors explain the important role of cash waqaf or money waqf which is very different from previous research. In this study there are several important roles of waqf money in minimizing government foreign debt and minimizing poverty that occurs in Indonesia.
