Influence of Progressive Islamic Da'wah on Economic Empowerment within the Muslim Community

“…The influence of da'wah in changing economic thought patterns and behavior also creates awareness of how better business and financial practices can help address social problems. Da'wah's message about the role of philanthropy, zakat, and alms in addressing poverty, inequality, and other difficulties helps individuals understand that economics is not only about making a profit but also about providing benefits to society more broadly (Alifuddin, Chaer, & Sukatin, 2021;Bunaiya, Islami, & Karimullah, 2022;Faizin, Karimullah, Faizal, & Lubis, 2023).…”
