Waqf as a worship to God and also as a socially function. In its function as a worship, waqf is expected to be a provision for the life in the afterlife. While in the other function, waqf is a very valuable asset in development. This research is to analyze the nature of land representation in its practice implementation in Gorontalo Province. The research method used in this study is normative research method and empirical research. The result of this research shows that the nature of the land endowments is to get closer to Allah SWT, which contains the meanings of charitable deeds continuously and useful to the whole society. However, in its implementation practice, the land waqf in Gorontalo is less effective caused by the waqf land mostly do not have the Deed of Waqf Pledge, so it is difficult to be registered at the National Land Agency for getting the certification.
