Revitalisasi Organisasi Remaja Masjid: Studi Kasus Strategis untuk Pemakmuran Masjid di Desa Lasem

Abstract

The Darussalam Mosque Youth Organization in Lasem Village plays a strategic role in the prosperity of the mosque. However, this organization has experienced ups and downs and even went dormant for more than two decades. This study aims to design a revitalization strategy for the mosque youth organization so that it can become active again and contribute to the fullest extent possible. The research was conducted at the Darussalam Jami' Mosque in Lasem Village, Sidayu Subdistrict, Gresik District, from 2022 to 2023. The approach used was a qualitative case study with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). Analysis was conducted using the SWOT approach. The research results indicate that the revitalization strategy includes: (1) restructuring the management, (2) drafting clear articles of association, (3) collecting data on members based on their interests and talents, (4) designing appropriate activity programs, and (5) providing supporting facilities and infrastructure. The conclusion shows the need for a systematic and participatory approach in reviving the organization. This study has implications for mosque administrators, youth leaders, and related parties in empowering youth based on the mosque.
