Abstract

This community service program aims to empower local communities around the religious destination of Syaikh Wasil, Setono Gedong, Kediri, in developing halal tourism through capacity building, improved understanding, and active community involvement. The program adopts the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, focusing on identifying and activating local assets as the core strength of empowerment. Activities included public education on halal tourism concepts, entrepreneurship training based on Islamic principles, mentoring for Muslim-friendly tourism services, and the establishment of collaborative forums among local business actors and community groups. The results indicate increased community awareness of halal tourism principles, the emergence and strengthening of small businesses that align with sharia values, and collective initiatives to build the destination's image as a clean, friendly, and Islamic spiritual site. Additionally, the program has contributed to increased income for local micro-entrepreneurs and significantly improved visitor experiences. The benefit of this program lies in its ability to establish a sustainable, community-based halal tourism foundation, strengthen the local economy, and promote the cultural-religious identity of Setonogedong within an inclusive and value-added tourism framework.

Abstract

The low level of Qur’anic literacy at the elementary education level remains a fundamental problem hindering the internalization of religious values among the younger generation. In rural areas, this phenomenon is escalated by a shortage of competent educators and the dominance of monotonous, conventional pedagogical methods. Such conditions lead to stagnation in learning outcomes, necessitating strategic intervention through community empowerment programs. This research aims to revitalize the Qur’anic Education Center (TPQ) in Juwet Village to ensure a more effective, adaptive, and sustainable religious knowledge transmission process. Methodologically, this study adopts a qualitative approach within a Participatory Action Research (PAR) framework. The researchers were actively involved in instructional dynamics to empirically identify barriers. Grounded in transformative education theory, strengthening teacher capacity is positioned as the primary instrument of change. Data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and periodic evaluations of students’ tajwid competence and reading fluency to establish a continuous improvement cycle. The findings indicate that intensive mentoring interventions significantly enhance student learning motivation and accelerate material comprehension. Furthermore, the program successfully optimized the standardization of teachers’ recitation quality through the implementation of systematic and measurable instructional methods. The implications of this study emphasize that a sustainable mentoring model is a key determinant in transforming the quality of religious education in rural regions. The success in this research site serves as a potential prototype for similar institutions in efforts to eradicate Qur'anic illiteracy and comprehensively improve Islamic literacy
