Abstract

Mosques serve not only as places of worship, but also as social and religious institutions with multidimensional roles. Mosque administrators hold strategic positions in maintaining communication between administrators, congregations, and other parties involved, including preachers who deliver messages during Friday sermons.  This study aims to analyze the sociological dynamics of communication among the nazirs of Al Jihad Mosque in Medan, particularly regarding the unclear schedule of Friday sermons and the phenomenon of social isolation experienced by the khatibs. Ineffective communication between the nazirs and the khatibs has disrupted the delivery of sermons and weakened congregational participation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and participatory observation. There were six informants consisting of mosque administrators, preachers who had served or were serving at the mosque, and mosque congregants. The results show that the weak communication system and management structure of the mosque trigger serious problems in the delivery of sermons and reinforce the social isolation of the khatib, as evident in the decline in the quality of sermons, the strained relationship between administrators and khatibs, and the decline in congregants' trust in the management.

Abstract

This study aims to examine strategies for fostering independent character in children with intellectual disabilities at the Uswatun Hasanah Orphanage in Aceh. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using data collection techniques such as interviews, observation, and documentation. The research subjects included the orphanage's management, caregiving teachers, and children with special needs. The findings reveal that the character development strategies involve the application of habituation, role modeling, and positive reinforcement methods. The content of character education focuses on daily religious practices, moral behavior, and physical and social skills. The assessment of character development is conducted holistically, flexibly, and contextually, involving cross-sector collaboration with government institutions and professionals. Major challenges include the diverse conditions of the children, limited family support, the constrained capacity of educators, and financial limitations. To address these issues, the orphanage implements individualized approaches, a tiered and inclusive mentoring system, cross-sector collaboration, and partnerships with private donors. This study recommends the development of adaptive, systemic, and sustainable strategies to optimally foster independence in children with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract

Islam presents a moral framework in which spirituality and social responsibility are closely interconnected, encouraging individuals to embody religious values in everyday social life. However, in many peripheral communities, the presence of religious activities does not always lead to sustained ethical transformation or stronger social cohesion. This study aims to examine how da’i (Islamic preachers) in Gunung Tua, North Padang Lawas Regency, construct and implement dakwah strategies to enhance religious awareness and social engagement within a complex peripheral urban context. This research employs a qualitative case study approach to explore dakwah as a socially embedded practice shaped by relational, cultural, and structural dynamics. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving twelve informants, including da’i, mosque administrators, congregants, and community leaders. The data were analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding. The findings reveal that the role of da’i extends beyond ritual preaching to function as relational moral mediators within the community. Religious awareness develops through sustained interaction, informal counseling, and active community involvement. While dakwah bil-lisan remains the dominant method, its effectiveness is enhanced through dialogical communication, the use of local language, and relatable narratives. Additionally, dakwah bil-haal, reflected in exemplary behavior and social participation, strengthens the credibility of religious messages. The effectiveness of dakwah is influenced by supporting factors such as community trust and institutional support, as well as challenges including economic constraints and digital influences.
