<![CDATA[This study examines the application of Islamic economic principles in the management of Jabal Rahmah Religious Educational Tourism in Jango Village, Central Lombok Regency, and explores how these practices are associated with the economic experiences of the local community. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study selected informants purposively, including religious figures with knowledge of Islamic economics, local workers, traders, micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise (MSME) participants, rattan craftsmen, and supporting informants familiar with household economic conditions. Data were collected through interviews, direct observation, and documentation and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Source and method triangulation were employed to strengthen data credibility. The findings reveal three complementary mechanisms through which Islamic economic principles are reflected in tourism management. First, justice is demonstrated by providing employment and business opportunities based on individual competencies rather than kinship or social status. Second, mas’uliyah ijtima’iyah (social responsibility) is implemented through training, mentoring, product promotion, and assistance in addressing business and employment challenges. Third, maslahah (public benefit) is reflected in community empowerment, job creation, MSME development, and efforts to distribute tourism-related benefits beyond management interests. Participants reported that these practices provided additional income opportunities, supported business continuity, and helped households meet their daily needs. The study’s principal contribution is to show how justice, social responsibility, and public benefit operate together in a specific religious educational tourism setting to support inclusive local economic participation. However, because the study relies on qualitative accounts from a single destination and does not include numerical income comparisons, its findings indicate perceived economic benefits rather than a quantified or causal effect on household income.and improving the welfare of the people of Jango Village.]]>
