https://ejournal.uinsalatiga.ac.id/index.php/imej/article/view/6297
<p><em>This article examines the role of Islamic religious extension workers in the economic empowerment of Taklim Council communities in Padangsidimpuan City and its implications for debates on religion, empowerment, and community development. Using a qualitative field-study approach, data were collected through participatory observation and semi-structured interviews with religious extension workers, institutional officials, and Taklim Council administrators and members. Data were analyzed thematically using the Miles and Huberman model, while validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings reveal that religious extension workers act as moral brokers, social facilitators, and institutional mediators in community-based economic empowerment. Empowerment is understood not only as income improvement but also as strengthening collective capacity, social trust, and moral legitimacy toward productive economic activities. However, these roles remain constrained by bureaucratic dependence, limited resources, and weak integration with the local economic ecosystem. This study highlights the strategic contribution of religious actors in sustainable community empowerment practices.</em></p>Icol DiantoZilfaroni Zilfaroni

https://ejournal.uinsalatiga.ac.id/index.php/imej/article/view/6427
<p><em>This study aims to analyze the impact of transforming amil competencies on the sustainability of community empowerment through the Misykat program at LAZ DT Peduli Bogor. The research provides theoretical contributions to dawah management and practical references for zakat institutions in optimizing amil's role as agents of social change. A qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach was employed, utilizing inductive analysis procedures. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results indicate that transforming amil competencies in managerial aspects, public speaking skills, and the internalization of FAST values (Siddiq, Amanah, Tabligh, Fathonah) significantly impacts mustahik's economic and spiritual independence. Empowerment sustainability is achieved through intensive mentoring, which remains effective despite core personnel limitations due to strategic synergy with student volunteers.</em></p>Irfan Irfan Muhammad Faisal Zam Zami
