This is because in every settlement of cases of conflicts and land disputes, certainty regarding the land is needed, including knowing the status of the land, who owns it, what the evidence is, and knowing its location and extent, to guarantee legal certainty regarding the matters mentioned above to avoid the existence of an acknowledgment and expropriation and a party that recognizes the unilateral land. Empowerment of Waqf in Indonesia, judging from the amount, the waqf property itself can be said to be quite large. Most of the items that will be waqf are plots of land that will be built by places of worship, Islamic educational institutions, cemeteries, or other things which are generally not cheap.
