Abstract

This study investigates the role of nadzir in managing waqf land within an Islamic philanthropy context, focusing on the Amil Zakat Institution of Mandiri Orphans in Jember, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with nadzir, management staff, and community beneficiaries, complemented by document analysis of institutional reports and waqf asset records. Data were analyzed thematically to identify governance practices, challenges, and strategic opportunities. The results reveal that nadzir plays a pivotal role not only in ensuring legal compliance and asset preservation but also in enhancing the socio-economic impact of waqf land. Effective governance is characterized by transparent reporting, active stakeholder engagement, and innovative utilization of land resources. However, limitations in human resource capacity, regulatory complexity, and funding constraints hinder optimal outcomes. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, Islamic finance practitioners, and philanthropic institutions aiming to optimize waqf land governance. This research contributes to the limited international literature on waqf land governance by offering empirical evidence from Indonesia and situating nadzir’s role within broader nonprofit governance and sustainable development frameworks.
