Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of management at the Kudus Grand Mosque in maintaining congregational comfort using Talcott Parsons’ structural functionalism theory. The Kudus Grand Mosque functions not only as a place of worship but also as a center for social, educational, and cultural activities within the community. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method through observation, interviews, and documentation. The analysis was conducted using Parsons’ AGIL framework, which includes adaptation, goal attainment, integration, and latency. The results show that the adaptation function is reflected in the provision of cleanliness, security, and congregational service facilities. The goal attainment function is realized through structured religious, educational, and social programs. The integration function appears in the coordination among mosque management divisions, while the latency function is implemented through the preservation of Islamic traditions and religious preaching activities. This study also identified several challenges, including limited funding, human resources, and technology utilization. Overall, the management of the Kudus Grand Mosque plays a vital role in creating a comfortable and conducive worship environment for the congregation. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for mosque management focused on congregational services and the strengthening of socio-religious functions in Indonesian society.
