HARMONIZATION OF MASQUE YOUTH FORMATION AS A FOUNDATION FOR SOCIETY

Abstract

This research aims to explore the process of forming mosque youth groups at Darun Na'im Mosque, Batur Village, Krajan Hamlet, and analyze their role in creating a harmonious community foundation. The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, which were then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the process of forming mosque youth groups is carried out through participatory religious and social activities, such as Islamic studies, skills training, and social activities. The active involvement of youth in planning and implementing activities shapes responsible character and leadership skills. In addition, the harmony built in the mosque environment shows the strategic role of youth in strengthening community social relations. Full support from mosque administrators and the community is a supporting factor for the success of this development. However, challenges such as limited funds and busy youth schedules require more attention to maintain program sustainability. This research concludes that the effective formation of mosque youth groups can create a young generation with character and contribute to creating a harmonious society. The research results are expected to be a reference for mosque administrators and related parties in developing optimal development strategies.
