<![CDATA[Religious tourism plays an important role in connecting cultural heritage with sustainable economic growth. This study analyzes the tomb Syekh Wasil Kediri as a center of syariah-based tourism where faith, heritage, and community development converge. Using a qualitative approach through field observations, stakeholder interviews, and document analysis, the research explores how this destination supports local economic empowerment while aligning with maqashid al-shariah and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The findings show that syariah-based tourism generates income for surrounding communities and preserves cultural–spiritual heritage. Activities at the site embody the objectives of maqashid al-shariah by protecting religion, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth, consistent with SDGs on decent work, sustainable cities, and cultural sustainability. Integrating religious values with heritage management offers a holistic model of sustainable tourism and contributes to broader discussions on Islamic economics and heritage-based development applicable to other religious destinations.]]>
