Mosques have a strategic role not only as places of ritual worship, but also as centers of community empowerment that are able to respond to social and environmental problems. In the digital era, environmental degradation and shifts in values due to technological developments require mosques to transform adaptively through the revitalization of Islamic eco-theological values. This research aims to analyze mosque-based empowerment strategies in revitalizing Islamic eco-theological values and examine the use of digital media to support this process. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with primary data sources in the form of observations and interviews with mosque administrators, digital content managers, community leaders and congregation members, as well as secondary data in the form of activity documents and mosque social media archives. The research object is located at the Sunan Kalijaga Mosque, Kalikajar Kulon Village, Paiton District, Probolinggo Regency. The results of this study conceptually show that mosques have great potential as agents of ecological change if empowerment strategies, Islamic eco-theological values, and the use of digital technology are combined synergistically. This research suspects that strengthening digital-based ecological da'wah is able to increase public awareness of environmental conservation as part of the practice of Islamic teachings at the village level.
