<![CDATA[Regular Islamic gatherings function not only as spiritual and social activities but also have the potential to stimulate local economic activity. This study aims to analyze the role of Gus Iqdam’s religious gathering management in improving the income of the Karanggayam Village community. The research employs a qualitative field approach through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that structured management—planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling—can create economic activities that increase vendors’ income.
