<![CDATA[This article highlighted the role and policies of the government and its staff in carrying out the tasks or functions of community empowerment, including identifying the supporting and hindering factors in the community empowerment process. Community empowerment also has several principles in its implementation, namely awareness of the community, providing education and training, organizing, developing strengths, and developing dynamics (decisions in the hands of the community itself). Community empowerment is focused on various aspects related to people's lives as a nation's society, namely empowerment in the fields of education, economy, socio-culture, psychology, and politics in the era of the digital economy. Through literature studies and qualitative approaches aimed to examine and interpret the events related to policies and the role of government, then compare to Islamic governments in the past. In the era of Amirul Mukminin bin Al-Khattab as the second caliph, he ran the government firmly but was very sensitive to his people. The policies, that he issued, were for the benefit of the people, not only Muslims but also all citizens who live in the authority of Umar's caliphate. These policies in community empowerment during Umar's time should be interpreted in the current context. The era is known as the digital age, of course, it needs to modify the policies of the previous era so that they can be relevant and able to be implemented in real terms.]]>
