Abstract
Masjid Raya Sheikh Zayed has become a tourist icon for the Muslim community in Surakarta, attracting tens of thousands of visitors daily. While the primary purpose is for prayer, many also come to enjoy the mosque's comfortable atmosphere, particularly first-time visitors. The economic potential from the influx of visitors has created business opportunities for the surrounding community, including food, beverages, souvenirs, toys, motorcycle taxi services, and parking facilities.This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with an exploratory method involving field observations, in-depth interviews, and literature review. Findings reveal the emergence of entrepreneurship among the community surrounding Masjid Sheikh Zayed. Not only Muslims actively engage in business around the mosque's front area, but also members of other religions, notably Christians from the Pentecostal Church Isa Almasih (GPIA) Sola Gratia. They have established food outlets directly in front of the church across from the mosque, and many patrons frequent these establishments.
