This paper provides a unique reduced component-count-efficient topology for 125-level asymmetrical multilevel inverter. The proposed design uses asymmetric DC sources and an H-bridge to produce an output voltage that can reach a maximum of 125 levels. The design and development of a multi-level inverter with a stacked half-bridge architecture that generates a 125-level output with excellent power quality is the object of the current research. The MOSFETs are triggered using a fundamental frequency switching technique that has been modified for output voltage level control. At its output, the level production circuit exclusively generates positive levels. Look-up tables are employed to regulate MOSFETs, and an H-bridge circuit is used to create polarities. 125 levels of output result in a nearly sinusoidal voltage waveform, which will give a nearly sinusoidal voltage waveform without the use of filters. The proposed work is Simulated in MATLAB/Simulink software.

Masjid di Indonesia memiliki potensi besar sebagai pusat pemberdayaan ekonomi umat, namun pemanfaatannya belum optimal. Dalam konteks ini, Wapres K.H. Ma'ruf Amin menekankan pentingnya meningkatkan peran masjid sebagai media pemberdayaan ekonomi umat. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi peran masjid dalam pemberdayaan ekonomi umat serta merumuskan strategi untuk meningkatkan fungsi masjid sebagai pusat kegiatan ekonomi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menganalisis pernyataan Wapres dan konteksnya dalam pembangunan ekonomi umat di masjid. Data dikumpulkan melalui webinar nasional dan analisis dokumen terkait. Masjid memiliki potensi besar sebagai basis pemberdayaan ekonomi umat, namun belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Diperlukan model bisnis yang mendorong partisipasi aktif jemaah dalam kegiatan ekonomi di masjid, seperti pendirian lembaga keuangan ultra mikro syariah. Dapat disimpulkan peningkatan peran masjid sebagai pusat pemberdayaan ekonomi umat merupakan langkah penting dalam membangun peradaban Islam yang moderat di Indonesia. Diperlukan upaya terus menerus untuk memperkuat pola pikir wasathy dan menjadikan masjid sebagai tempat penyebarannya, sehingga dapat mengembangkan kembali peradaban Islam dan mewujudkan umat terbaik.
