Strategies for Advancing Waqf Governance through SIMAM Technology in the Muhammadiyah Organization

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study examines strategies for implementing and optimizing technology to enhance sustainable waqf management within the Muhammadiyah community. As an Islamic philanthropic instrument, waqf plays a significant role in supporting Muhammadiyah's charitable initiatives. However, suboptimal asset management, limited human resource competency, and a lack of transparency hinder effective waqf governance. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach and a SWOT analysis to examine the internal and external factors influencing waqf management. Findings indicate that technological use, such as the Muhammadiyah Asset Management Information System (SIMAM) and digital platforms like sharia-compliant crowdfunding and blockchain, can enhance efficiency, transparency, and accountability in waqf management. The proposed strategies include technology-based training, integrated management systems, and improved cross-departmental synergy. The results are expected to support Muhammadiyah as a pioneer in technology-based waqf management in Indonesia
