Abstract

Mosques are vital faith-based organizations (FBOs) that significantly contribute to the spiritual, social, educational, and economic welfare of communities—not only in Muslim-majority countries but also in regions where Muslims are minorities. While traditionally centered on worship, mosques today have evolved into multi-functional institutions that address diverse community needs. This study examines the historical roles of mosques from the era of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through the Caliphates to the modern era, highlighting current challenges and strategies for empowerment, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected from 425 participants across eight prominent mosques in major Indonesian cities through surveys, observations, interviews, and secondary sources. Key findings reveal that mosques play an essential role in promoting moderate Islam, social cohesion, and inclusive community services. During and after the pandemic, mosques adapted by expanding digital outreach, enhancing women's participation, and launching economic and health initiatives. The study underscores the strategic importance of revitalizing mosques as inclusive, resilient institutions that foster both religious devotion and community empowerment. Insights from the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta demonstrate best practices that may inform mosque development globally.

However, the findings also indicate that with proper empowerment, FMWs can serve as agents of peace, strengthening religious moderation both domestically and internationally.

Abstract

The Posyandu cadre empowerment program in Karanganyar Village, Kedungbanteng District, Tegal Regency was implemented as an effort to improve the capacity of cadres in managing digital-based public health services. The background of this activity stems from the finding that the Posyandu activity recording and reporting system is still carried out manually, which often causes obstacles in terms of time efficiency, data accuracy, and coordination. Through a participatory approach, the activity was carried out by training cadres to use Google Forms, Google Spreadsheets, and WhatsApp channels as digital media for data collection, reporting, and communication of health information. The results of the activity showed an increase in the cadres' ability to manage health data digitally, strengthened basic digital literacy, and the formation of a more organized, faster, and secure recording system. This program not only encourages the transformation of Posyandu administration but also strengthens a professional and adaptive work culture among cadres in response to technological developments.
