As one of the leading universities in Indonesia, Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) holds a significant responsibility to enhance the quality of education, research, and community service. Achieving these goals requires strong and sustainable financial resources. Given the limitations in available funding, waqf serves as a strategic solution for providing long-term financial support. This not only enables Unpad to meet the needs of its Tridharma (three pillars of higher education) but also strengthens its role as a university that contributes to national development. Waqf is a component of the funding structure for State University with Legal Entity status, sourced from the public, including all stakeholders of Universitas Padjadjaran, as regulated by Government Regulation No. 26 of 2015 concerning the Forms and Mechanisms of Funding for State University with Legal Entity Status. Therefore, Unpad has established the Unpad Waqf Institution to manage waqf funds in accordance with sharia principles.
In Islam, waqf is not limited to the development of religious facilities such as mosques or Islamic schools (madrasahs) alone. Moreover, it encompasses all forms of assets whose benefits continuously flow to the community, such as educational facilities, hospitals and healthcare services, water wells, productive land, and other social welfare infrastructures. This broader understanding is affirmed by an authentic hadith regarding the waqf made by Umar ibn al-Khattab, who donated his land so that its benefits could be directed to the poor, travelers, and guests. Furthermore, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) stated that when a person dies, all their deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah), knowledge from which people benefit, and a righteous child who prays for them. Waqf is included as a form of ongoing charity. The Qur’an also commands believers to spend from the best of their wealth (Surah Ali ‘Imran: 92). Thus, waqf is a path to building civilization and an everlasting deed that brings benefit in both this world and the hereafter.
