ABSTRACT: Mosques, as the center of worship for Muslims, play a strategic role in the formation of an empowered society.
However, in the context of Jakarta as an urban city, the role of mosques in the economic empowerment of the people is still not optimal.

Using a qualitative approach and case study method, this study examines several mosques in Jakarta that have implemented various da'wahbased economic empowerment programs, such as mosque cooperatives, entrepreneurship training, and other social programs.

However, with the development of the times, the function of mosques tends to be reduced to just a place of ritual worship.
In big cities like Jakarta, mosques confront significant challenges in meeting the requirements of differing and dynamic urban communities.

Sunda Kelapa Mosque, and At-Tin Mosque, have implemented various significant economic empowerment These programs include entrepreneurship training, mosque cooperatives, and sharia bazaars and markets, which directly benefit worshippers, especially in increasing income and economic independence.
At the Istiqlal Mosque, the sharia-based entrepreneurship training program has become one of the flagship initiatives that is regularly carried out.
The program not only provides participants with technical skills but also instils Islamic values in their business practices.
This allows participants to start and manage businesses independently with Sharia principles.
The Istiqlal Mosque has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs to empower the community's economy.
One of the initiatives implemented is a digital wallet service called E-Istiqlal, which facilitates pilgrims in conducting financial transactions digitally by Sharia principles.
Meanwhile, the Sunda Kelapa Mosque has a mosque cooperative program that has provided access to capital to small and micro businesses managed by congregational members.
Pilgrims get capital loans through this cooperative with a transparent and sharia-based system.
In addition, this mosque also often holds sharia economic bazaars involving various small business actors, providing opportunities to market their products to the broader community.
The Great Mosque of Sunda Kelapa also has an economic independence program through the establishment of a Cooperative Shop.
The endowment fund derived from infaq and shodaqoh is used to manage Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT), which has been able to pay employees under the management of the mosque according to the City Minimum Wage.
At the At-Tin Mosque, the entrepreneurship training program for worshippers is one of the initiatives that stands out.
This program focuses on family economic empowerment through training in making household products such as snacks, crafts, and fashion products.
This mosque also organises a shariabased people's market, which is not only an economical means but also a medium for da'wah to the surrounding community.
Although these programs have provided tangible benefits, the three mosques face various challenges.
The main challenges include limited resources, both in terms of funding, skilled management personnel, and adequate supporting facilities.
In addition, the lack of synergy with other institutions and coordination between programs is often an obstacle in optimizing the impact of economic empowerment.
Istiqlal Mosque The Istiqlal Mosque as a national mosque has a strategic position not only geographically but also symbolically in the religious life of the people of Jakarta.

php/madinah Based on the results of interviews with the management and field observations, the Istiqlal Mosque has developed several economic empowerment programs, such as mosque cooperatives, entrepreneurial skills training, and MSME bazaars on a regular basis.
However, due to its status under direct state management, cross-agency and bureaucratic coordination is one of the main challenges in the sustainability of these programs.
Masjid At-Tin The At-Tin Mosque has advantages in the utilization of assets and a strong community network.
The entrepreneurship program is more collaborative with external institutions such as NGOs and higher education institutions.
One of AtTin's flagship programs is halal culinary business training and digital marketing targeting housewives and local youth.
However, the weakness found is the lack of sustainability of post-training mentoring which leads to a significant lack of business growth.
Sunda Kelapa Mosque The Sunda Kelapa Mosque is known to be active in social activities and da'wah.
From the results of documentation and interviews, it is known that this mosque has developed a savings and loan cooperative and an educational scholarship program for underprivileged families.
In addition, the mosque also holds Islamic economic recitations that integrate spiritual values in personal financial The main obstacles faced are the limitation of human resources in the management of economic programs and the lack of evaluation of the impact of the program.
To provide a more systematic picture of the implementation of economic empowerment programs in the three mosques that are the object of the research, the following is presented a comparative table that summarizes the types of programs, advantages, and challenges faced by each mosque in carrying out the functions of da'wah and economic empowerment of the people.

php/madinah From the table above, it can be concluded that each mosque has its own approach and advantages in managing da'wah-based economic empowerment However, the challenges faced also show the need for an integrated and sustainable revitalization strategy so that the function of mosques as a da'wah center as well as the empowerment of the people can be more optimal, especially in answering the needs of urban communities such as in Jakarta.
Challenges in the Implementation of the Economic Empowerment Although the Istiqlal Mosque.
Sunda Kelapa Mosque, and At-Tin Mosque have shown initiative in carrying out people's economic empowerment programs, various challenges hinder the successful implementation of these programs.
One of the main challenges is the limited resources owned by each mosque.
The Istiqlal Mosque, despite having extensive facilities and good infrastructure, often faces obstacles in funding sustainable economic empowerment programs.
Programs such as sharia-based entrepreneurship training require significant investment to provide materials, teaching staff, and supporting facilities.
The Istiqlal Mosque has developed a collaboration with Unilever Indonesia to implement social and environmental programs since 2017.
However, it still encounters obstacles in funding sustainable economic empowerment programs, particularly those requiring substantial investment in materials and training staff for sharia-based entrepreneurship initiatives.
This highlights the need for more effective financial strategies to support these programs and ensure their sustainability.
Another challenge is the lack of coordination between mosques, zakat institutions, and other social institutions.
Economic empowerment programs in the three mosques often run independently without synergy with other institutions with similar goals.
This results in a lack of efficiency in resource use and limited impact.
In addition, the lack of a systematic collaboration platform or mechanism complicates integration efforts between mosques and external To overcome these challenges, revitalization efforts are needed that not only strengthen the internal capacity of the mosque but also build a network of collaboration with various related parties.
This strategy is expected to increase the efficiency and impact of mosque-based economic empowerment programs.
The Impact of Economic Empowerment on Pilgrims Despite facing various challenges, the economic empowerment programs run by the Istiqlal Mosque.
Sunda Kelapa Mosque, and At-Tin Mosque have significantly impacted the welfare of worshippers.

Additionally, the mosque collaborates with Unilever Indonesia to support community welfare through various entrepreneurship and economic development programs, further solidifying its role in fostering local businesses.
The Mosque has initiated a cooperative program that provides worshippers access to business capital.
The impact is very felt on small micro businesses, especially in the food and handicraft sector, which pilgrims manage.
This cooperative helps in business development and creates a spirit of cooperation through various activities to share information and experience in managing a And it focuses on family-based economic empowerment through entrepreneurship training for worshippers.

Train This table found that mosques in Jakarta have great potential to play a role in the economic empowerment of the people through da'wah-based programs.
Despite the many challenges faced, such as limited resources and lack of coordination between institutions, mosques can still positively impact the welfare of worshippers.
21 Therefore, revitalizing the role of mosques as centres for da'wah and economic empowerment is urgently needed to improve the quality of life of Muslims in Jakarta.
The strategic role of mosques in urban communities such as Jakarta is becoming increasingly important amid increasing socio-economic challenges, such as income inequality, unemployment, and limited economic access for the lower middle class.
23 The mosque not only functions as a center of spiritual worship, but also has the potential to be a center for empowering the people who are able to answer various social problems concretely.
Therefore, this study focuses on how large mosques in Jakarta play a role in the revitalization of da'wah that is integrated with the economic empowerment program of the people .

php/madinah CONCLUSION This research successfully identifies and analyzes the role of mosques in Jakarta in the economic empowerment of the people through da'wah-based In general, mosques in Jakarta have great potential to become centres of economic empowerment that is not only limited to spiritual aspects but can also include improving the economic welfare of worshippers.
Programs such as entrepreneurship training, mosque cooperatives, and sharia bazaars have positively impacted people's income and economic independence.
However, although many mosques have implemented economic empowerment programs, this study also found some significant challenges, such as limited resources regarding finances, management personnel, and facilities.
In addition, the lack of coordination between mosques and other social institutions also hampers the success of economic empowerment programs.
The importance of revitalizing the role of mosques as centres for da'wah and economic empowerment in Jakarta is becoming more apparent, with the synergy between spiritual da'wah and economic empowerment as the primary key.
With more integrated management and focusing on collaboration between mosques, zakat institutions, and other socio-economic institutions, mosque-based economic empowerment programs can significantly improve the quality of life of Muslims in Jakarta.
Based on these findings, several recommendations have been submitted, including increasing the capacity of human resources in mosques, more efficient management of zakat and waqf funds, and infrastructure development that supports economic empowerment.
Thus, revitalizing the role of mosques as centres of da'wah and economic empowerment is urgently needed to ensure that mosques can provide wider benefits for Muslims, especially in big cities such as Jakarta.
