The programs have significantly improved community welfare, strengthened social solidarity, and fostered economic independence among congregants. The mosque also upholds principles of inclusivity and transparency in resource management. Through collaborative approaches and active community engagement, Nurul Ashri Mosque has become a sustainable model of empowerment. This study concludes that integrating religious values with Islamic philanthropic principles enables mosques to serve as agents of meaningful social transformation.
