- Abstract
This article aims to design a model of waqf to address the education gap in Indonesia. Using a qualitative-normative approach involving literature analysis and in-depth discussions with pesantren practitioners, academics, and administrators, the study recognizes pesantren as a significant educational institution rather than just an alternative. Pesantren holds the potential to offer various waqf models to tackle existing educational challenges by delivering accessible, quality education to all segments of society in Indonesia. The research examines waqf management at Gontor Islamic Boarding School, which employs productive waqf practices in both the business sector and asset expansion. Gontor Islamic Boarding School has established 30 business units and actively engages in community empowerment. The institution preserves its identity through its core values and local wisdom. Key figures, known as Kyai, play a central role in pesantren management and independence. Additionally, the family system, a commitment to service, and organized administration are integral characteristics of Gontor pesantren. The effective allocation of waqf resources by Gontor Pesantren has led to operational independence, reduced educational costs, expanded and enhanced the quality of education, and community empowerment.
