PENINGKATAN PEMAHAMAN WAKAF BAGI PENGURUS DEWAN KEMAKMURAN MASJID

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan kapasitas pengurus Dewan Kemakmuran Masjid (DKM) terkait wakaf uang sebagai sumber pendanaan alternatif yang berkelanjutan. Pelatihan dilaksanakan pada 20 Juni 2025 dan diikuti oleh 18 peserta dari masjid-masjid di sekitar Universitas YARSI, dengan Masjid Jami’ YARSI sebagai tuan rumah. Pretest dan posttest digunakan untuk mengukur perubahan pemahaman peserta, dengan hasil menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan (nilai Sig. 2-tailed = 0,000 < 0,05). Evaluasi peserta juga menunjukkan tanggapan sangat positif terhadap materi, narasumber, dan fasilitas pelatihan. Berdasarkan keberhasilan ini, kegiatan akan dilanjutkan ke tahap pendampingan pembentukan lembaga nazhir wakaf uang, termasuk perizinan resmi dari BWI dan kerja sama dengan LKS-PWU. Langkah ini diharapkan mampu mewujudkan masjid yang mandiri secara finansial dan berperan sebagai pusat pemberdayaan ekonomi umat berbasis wakaf.This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge and capacity of Mosque Prosperity Council (DKM) administrators regarding cash waqf as a sustainable alternative funding source for mosques. The training was held on June 20, 2025, at Jami’ YARSI Mosque, involving 18 participants representing mosques around YARSI University. The program employed lectures, interactive discussions, and evaluations through pre-test and post-test. The analysis results indicated a significant improvement in participants’ understanding after the training, as evidenced by a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05. Furthermore, participant evaluations showed highly positive responses to the relevance of the material, the competence of the speakers, and the adequacy of the facilities. Based on this success, the program will proceed to the mentoring stage for establishing a cash waqf nazhir institution, including obtaining official licensing from the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) and collaborating with Islamic Financial Institutions authorized to receive cash waqf (LKS-PWU). The implementation of this follow-up stage is expected to realize financial independence for mosques and optimize their role as centers of community economic empowerment based on waqf, thereby providing sustainable benefits for the surrounding community.
