Abstract

The development of modern technology has brought significant changes in the implementation of religious community worship. The challenge is how mosques, as religious institutions, can respond to this transformation without compromising the core values of their teachings. This study examines how mosques influence community involvement in qurbani worship and how mosques manage these activities in a modern context while still benefiting the community. The purpose of this study is to analyze the form of digitalization applied and its impact on the participation of the ummah in the implementation of qurbani worship. The method employed is field research, with observation as the data-collection technique. The results of this study show that digitalization, such as online registration, qurbani management information systems, and real-time reporting, has increased transparency, trust, and community involvement in the implementation of qurbani worship. Thus, the digitalization implemented at the Jogokariyan mosque strengthens religious community engagement and underscores the mosque's role as a public service grounded in religious values, adapted to contemporary contexts.

Abstract

This paper aims to show the relationship between cultural and religious interpretations of mental disorders and the use of spiritual healing practices. The interest of this study lies in understanding how these interpretations can guide curative choice, especially in the Moroccan context, where modern medicine coexists with traditional and religious practices. Interrogating these explanations in the hospital context, where two completely distinct conceptions may come into conflict, is an essential and novel task. Through a qualitative approach and with the use of interviews conducted with families of patients hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital in the city of Fez, this work highlights the presence of supernatural conceptions of mental disorders in the participants, such as possession, the evil eye, and witchcraft. Thus, it is evident that these conceptions have led to the adoption of a healing practice based on Koranic recitations, known as Roqya. This research is not intended to be generalized due to the small sample size; its results represent the experiences of the participants interviewed within the context of the study. However, the significance of it lies in the fact that it stresses the importance of a medical approach that is open to cultural interpretations of mental disorders and aware of their impact on patients' choices.
