<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the importance of the regeneration of mosque congregants through increased youth participation, although their involvement in mosque activities in Tamanasri Village has remained relatively low. This study aims to analyze the strategies of religious counselors in encouraging the regeneration of mosque congregants through increased youth participation, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive type and a case study design. Informants were selected purposively and included religious counselors, mosque administrators, youth, and community leaders. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The results showed that the strategy implemented took the form of a communicative approach that was personal and dialogical in nature, but had not been balanced by activity programs relevant to youth. Youth participation remained low and tended to be incidental. Internal factors in the form of low religious awareness, as well as external factors such as busyness and the influence of digital technology, became the main causes of low youth involvement. In addition, the limited number of youth-oriented programs also became an important obstacle. These findings affirm that the regeneration of mosque congregants requires religious counseling strategies that are more innovative, contextual, and participatory so that youth involvement in mosque activities can increase more sustainably.]]>
