The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with literature studies and interviews with LAZIS and DKM managers. The results of the study indicate that LAZIS has great potential in improving the welfare of the community through skills training, providing business capital, and developing entrepreneurship. In conclusion, the strategic role of LAZIS in the community's economic empowerment program in the DKM environment requires great support and collaboration from mosque managers and active community participation to achieve the success of the mosque as a center for the community's economy.
