Waqf (Islamic endowment) has received great attention from contemporary scholars, in line with the increasing attention being paid to social welfare. However, it is conceptually unclear, with no consensus having been reached among researchers on its current status. This study provides a brief overview of recent Waqf research developments, hence paving the way for future research. The research employs a bibliometric approach to analysing and summarising the trends and status quo in Waqf growth. Only articles written in English extracted from both the Web of Science and Scopus databases were considered for the study. The paper is an attempt to establish a solid conceptual base and to suggest directions for future research. The research provides a clear picture of the growth of Waqf, and indicates research gaps by reaching comprehensive conclusions about what has been achieved in the field. It hence opens new doors for scholars to develop innovative Waqf models to bridge socioeconomic issues. Our findings show that Indonesian and Malaysian scholars and their educational institutions have had a robust research commitment to the theme of Waqf during the last forty years. However, there is a lack of research on the countries where Waqf was first practised.

This research aims to initiate the integration model of zakat-waqf with Social Forestry Program. The study is a conceptual paper and qualitative using secondary data and descriptively analyzed. It reviews several existing models related to Zakat and Waqf's role in financing the agriculture and forestry sectors to formulating a novel model for poverty alleviation from communities in and around forests expected to reduce forest destructions in Indonesia. The study concluded that zakat-waqf could finance the Social Forestry program to overcome poverty, inequality and increase the welfare of people living in and around forests. It will provide economic and ecological benefits, especially in reducing forest damage. This research can encourage other researchers to explore the potential of zakat-waqf for financing forestry sectors.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginisasi model integrasi zakat dan wakaf dengan program Perhutanan Sosial. Penelitian adalah riset konseptual yang menggunakan data sekunder dan analisis deskriptif. Penelitian ini mengulas beberapa model eksisting mengenai peran zakat dan wakaf dalam membiayai sektor pertanian dan kehutanan untuk menyusun formula baru yang diharapkan mampu menjadi solusi kemiskinan masyarakat di dalam dan sekitar hutan, yang kemudian diharapkan menurunkan tingkat kebakaran dan kerusakan hutan di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa zakat dan wakaf dapat menjadi sumber pembiayaan program Perhutanan Sosial untuk mengatasi kemiskinan, kesenjangan, dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat di dalam dan sekitar hutan. Program ini dapat memberikan manfaat ekonomi dan ekologi, spesifiknya untuk mengurangi kerusakan hutan. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat mendorong peneliti-peneliti lain untuk menganalisis lebih lanjut mengenai potensi zakat dan wakaf untuk membiayai sektor kehutanan.

“…Budiman (2011) stated that waqf could maintain the sustainability of the environment. More specifically, Yaakob et al (2017) indicated that waqf could be announced as an alternative to forest conservation and regeneration program. In line with that, Hasanah & Hakim (2017) also mentioned that cash waqf could be used to bought an area in the city and managed as an urban forest.…”

Some communities and governments in Indonesia have taken the initiative to develop waqf forests to solve forest conservation problems. However, research on waqf forest development is still rarely studied. This study aims to improve the strategy of waqf forest development in Indonesia. SWOT method is used to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and the possible development strategies of the Bogor Waqf Forest as a manager of Waqf Forest. The ANP method prioritizes these four aspects and the best strategy in developing the waqf forest. An aggressive strategy needs to be carried out by optimizing the existing legal organization and the well-educated human resources to inform the public about the waqf concept in Islam and its application in the waqf forest. Thus, the vast potential of cash waqf and waqif can be obtained. This paper is one of the pioneering articles that discuss waqf forest development strategies, especially in Indonesia. From this research, we recommend the Bogor Waqf Forest to resolve the legal aspects as an official waqf manager, and the government and Indonesian Ulema Council to issue regulation and fatwa regarding waqf forest.
