Abstract
Large funds for the National Economic Recovery after the COVID-19 Pandemic require various low-cost, high-efficiency, and sustainable instruments. This study aims to analyze the potential of Waqf-linked Social Entrepreneur (WLSE) as an instrument of National Economic Recovery in Indonesia. Collaboration with Waqf, with its unique nature, can generate income and finance productive activities where returns or profits will be saved for future funding and social entrepreneurship with a creative, innovative, and practical entrepreneurial approach to overcome problems in the economic and social fields. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach by reviewing and analyzing facts, expert opinions, theories, and previous research related to WLSE and its development potential. Learning from the success of waqf-social entrepreneurship management in various countries and institutions, including in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Singapura and Indonesia, this study finds the WLSE collaboration model can be an alternative to sustainable Islamic financial instruments in Indonesia and has the potential as an instrument to accelerate national economic recovery after the pandemic. This instrument is very suitable because it has high flexibility and appeals to the Muslim philanthropic middle class, as well as being a sustainable sadaqah from waqf to be distributed to beneficiaries.
