<![CDATA[The Dayak Temaga community in Sarawak, Malaysia, maintains a strong tradition of togetherness in supporting religious activities through the practices of mutual cooperation, resource sharing, and communal dining. However, social changes resulting from modernization, along with increasing economic pressures, have the potential to reduce community participation in preserving these traditions. This community service program aims to strengthen religious activities through community empowerment based on the principles of the social economy, togetherness, and local wisdom. The program was implemented through mentoring religious activities, providing basic Islamic education, reinforcing the values of mutual cooperation, and facilitating communal dining as a means of strengthening the community's social and spiritual relationships. The implementation of the program involved several stages, including assessing community needs through observation, coordinating with religious and community leaders, conducting participatory program activities, and evaluating community involvement throughout the implementation process. The results demonstrate increased community participation in various religious activities, the growth of collective awareness to preserve the traditions of sharing and mutual cooperation, and stronger collaboration among community members, religious leaders, and university students in supporting the sustainability of religious activities. The program also succeeded in strengthening social relationships, fostering the spirit of togetherness, and promoting the internalization of religious values through social economy practices based on community participation. Therefore, community empowerment through the strengthening of religious activities based on the social economy represents a relevant approach to supporting the sustainability of religious life among the Dayak Temaga community and may serve as a model for community service programs grounded in local wisdom.]]>
