JAKARTA - Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Nusron Wahid revealed, around 500,000 waqf land parcels in Indonesia do not yet have a certificate. This condition is considered very risky to cause land disputes in the future.
The waqf land that does not yet have a certificate is land that is used as a place for mosque buildings, prayer rooms to Islamic boarding schools.
"In Indonesia, the number of mosques, prayer rooms, Islamic boarding schools and others is a total of around 800,000 throughout Indonesia. The newly certified waqf land is 232,000, the remaining around 500,000," said Nusron in the agenda for the Launch of Land and Tax Data Integration and the Opening of the Fatayat NU branch Conference at the Tangerang Mayor's office, Banten, Wednesday, April 30.
Nusron also appealed to the public and administrators of religious institutions to immediately apply for waqf land certificates to BPN to prevent future conflicts.
For example, when there is a widening of the toll road, there can be a dispute between the mosque administrators or the heirs of the pewaf who want to withdraw their land.

"This is careful, why? Later, if there is a widening of the toll road, making a fuss between the management, making a fuss between the families of the deceased if it is not certified immediately," said Nusron.
"In the past, his family did not question why? The value is not how much it costs. However, in line with economic growth and urban planning development plus the National Strategic Project (PSN), whether to widen the toll road or whatever, the land is worth billions," he added.
Therefore, Nusron asked the public to immediately circumvent the waqf land. "Therefore, let's remind the mosque together, break it, madrasa prayer room, especially Islamic boarding schools that have not been certified waqf, let's immediately certified waqf. (This) is free," he concluded.
