Abstract

Purposes: The productive waqf is a new strategy for overcoming empowerment challenges from an Islamic perspective. This research aims to develop an empowerment model in productive waqf, especially for disaster survivors.
Methods: This research is a qualitative study that applies the case study in Yayasan Dana Sosial Al Falah to see the application of productive waqf for disaster survivors from Semeru^s eruption in Candipuro, Lumajang.
Results: The results reveal the business process of productive waqf for disaster survivors, as implemented by YDSF. The organization upholds values such as Care, Collaboration, and Dynamic-Professional Improvement, which align with the Islamic perspective, as stated in QS Al Baqarah no 267.
Conclusion and suggestion: The productive waqf is a suitable solution for empowering disaster survivors. The waqf program manager collaborates with the beneficiaries, professionals, and other social institutions. The next topic to be improved is accountability regarding this program because the beneficiaries are not just disaster survivors but also benefactors. Besides, to improve this program, the government still needs to support it.
