This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method involving in-depth interviews and participant observation. The data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. Data obtained from interviews and observations were analyzed inductively, with steps in the form of coding, grouping themes, and interpretation to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon under study. The results of the research show that the entrepreneurial strategy implemented includes the development of business units such as the business units at the Pesantren Daarut Tauhiid, namely Vehicle Rental, Service Bureau, Tour and Travel, and Event Organizer. Apart from that, there are also Sharia Financial Services, namely BMT Daarut Tauhiid and PT. BPRS Daarut Tauhiid has succeeded in increasing the independence of Pesantren Daarut Tauhiids.
