Therefore, the research results show that based on the information provided, the economic empowerment programs for the community conducted or planned in several mosques include the collection and distribution of zakat given to those in need, especially during the fasting month, and the mosques provide small loans to the community to assist them in economic activities.The mosque also strives to have a greater positive impact on the welfare of the community and the overall progress of the mosque.
