On the second day of the 2024 Sharia Danamon Travel Fair, on Sunday, March 24, Danamon Syariah held a talk show 'Building Productive Waqf' by presenting several competent speakers in their fields from the Indonesian Waqf Agency and Dompet Dhuafa.

Discussions on productive and non-productive waqf also surfaced. For example, waqf in Indonesia is divided into two types, namely productive and non-productive waqf. Non-productive waqf focuses on direct benefits such as mosques, schools, and hospitals.

Meanwhile, productive waqf involves the use of fixed assets for production activities, with the results being used according to the purpose of waqf. Now, waqf has developed into activities that support community empowerment, not only limited to social aspects, but also including education, health, and economic empowerment, especially for micro and small businesses.

In order to facilitate the journey of Muslims in carrying out waqf, Danamon launched Social Banking, a digital platform that facilitates waqf, gives control to the younger generation of Muslims to contribute practically. This initiative supports the development of cash waqf in Indonesia which shows Danamon's commitment to help achieve prosperity.

Thus, the 2024 Danamon Syariah Travel Fair marks an important step in supporting and facilitating the spiritual and economic needs of Muslims in Indonesia. By presenting competent resource persons and relevant materials, this event aims to improve the understanding and preparation of Muslims in performing the pilgrimage and utilizing the potential for waqf for social and economic empowerment.

Danamon Syariah has always been committed to supporting and facilitating the needs of Muslims in worship and waivers, leading to sustainable welfare for the community. This Travel Fair is just one of the many initiatives taken by Danamon Syariah in realizing this commitment.
