Rekonstruksi Paradigma Ekonomi Masjid: Studi Mendalam Transformasi Sosial-Ekonomi di Masjid Baiturrahmah Tangerang Selatan

Abstract

This study aims to revitalize the economic function of mosques in the capital's buffer zone through a case study at Baiturrahmah Mosque, Legoso, East Ciputat, South Tangerang. Amidst economic challenges and the stagnation of mosques' roles strictly as ritual centers, this research applies the Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology to transform the community's micro-economic landscape. Unlike top-down approaches, PAR actively involves the congregation in a cycle of Planning, Action, Observation, and Reflection. The findings indicate that the primary barriers to economic independence are low Islamic financial literacy and the absence of formal institutions. Interventions through thematic "Subuh Lectures" and professional qurban management reforms have proven effective in increasing collective awareness and the economic value of mosque assets. This study recommends the establishment of a Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ) or BMT as a strategic step for sustainability, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in poverty alleviation.
