Indonesia is a developing country where the majority of the population is Muslim.

Islam is a religion that teaches all aspects of life needed by humans. This aspect does not

only cover worship, but also muamalah which aims for common welfare. In Islam there

are several worship activities that have an impact on human welfare, including waqf and

zakat. Indonesian people are still very unfamiliar with waqf and productive zakat which

are very useful for poverty alleviation in Indonesia. With the diversity of productive

waqf and the awareness of the Muslim community in Indonesia, it is hoped that waqf

and zakat can develop so that they can empower people in need. This study aims to

determine the role of waqf and zakat in improving the economy of the people in

Indonesia. The research methodology used is literature review. The reference source for

this research is previous research on productive waqf.
