<![CDATA[Optimal zakat management is one of the strategic steps in realizing the welfare of the community through mosque-based community empowerment. This community service activity aims to empower the congregation of the Maritengngae Village Mosque to have a deep understanding of zakat and be able to manage zakat independently. The mosques in Maritengngae Suppa Pinrang Village consist of 5 mosques, namely: Nurul Jihad Barakasanda Mosque, Al Barkah Barakasanda Mosque, Nuruddin Temappa Mosque, Babussalam Cikuale Mosque, and Syuhada 45 Alakkang Mosque. The service was carried out using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method through the stages of planning, action, observation, and mentoring. By empowering the mosque as a center for zakat management, it is hoped that the role of the mosque will not only be limited to collecting zakat, but also include targeted distribution and mentoring for zakat recipients (mustahik) to improve their standard of living. This program is implemented through a series of activities, such as counseling, training or mentoring, and group discussions, with a focus on increasing the capacity of mosque administrators and the Maritengngae Village community in understanding and managing zakat. In addition, this activity introduces information technology as a tool in managing zakat, for example using the Menara Masjid application, Smart ZISWaf, and Emasjid, so that the process of recording muzakki and mustahik data becomes more efficient, transparent, and accountable. With this approach, mosques are expected to become institutions that are able to empower the people's economy sustainably and support significant social change at the community level.]]>
