Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: The protection of waqf assets in Banjar City, West Java, faces significant challenges related to misuse and potential asset seizure. This study explores how the land registration program and regulatory awareness approach can enhance the legal protection of waqf assets within the framework of Islamic law. Methods: This research employs a juridicalempirical approach with a descriptiveanalytical method. Data were collected through interviews, field observations, and document reviews regarding the implementation of the land registration program and related regulations in Banjar City. The analysis focuses on the effectiveness of these initiatives in safeguarding waqf assets. Results: The study finds that the land registration program has positively contributed to the protection of waqf assets, though challenges remain, including insufficient socialization and training for nadzir (waqf managers). Additionally, regulatory awareness programs, such as waqf land certification, offer significant potential for strengthening legal protection. However, a lack of understanding about the importance of land registration remains a major obstacle. Discussion: There is a need for stronger synergy between government policies and community participation to better protect waqf assets. Enhanced socialization and awareness campaigns are crucial for improving understanding of legal protections. The roles of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Banjar City Government are vital in supporting these initiatives. Conclusion and Novelty: This study offers a novel contribution by identifying the importance of land registration programs and regulatory awareness in strengthening the protection of waqf assets, as well as providing practical recommendations to overcome the obstacles to their implementation. The novelty of this study lies in mapping the local context in Banjar City as a model for other regions in managing more secure waqf assets.
