The low level of participation of waqf in society is caused by the low level of understanding of waqf. Therefore, this research is aimed at mapping the experience of waqf. The object of the study is the mosque congregation in the district of Ponorogo. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive with a complementary approach. the data was collected through interviews. This study shows that the understanding of waqf is mapped on three themes: basic knowledge of waqf, a sense of waqf benefits, and an experience of the law related to waqf. This research also found that the level of expertise of waqf based on the map is medium-low. This means the mosque congregation in the district of Ponrogo is still unfamiliar with waqf in terms of advanced understanding.
