Abstract:

The existence of the mosque and the organization underneath is essential to develop various models in its

function. The abilities and development of adolescent individuals are able to become a reinforcement and

agents of the change of Ummah in the organization. Childhood through adolescence requires coaching and a

strong will so that they are able to be independent so that the potential in the organization and its productive

resources have signiﬁcant prospects in the present and the future. For this reason, it is time for the effectiveness

of the functions of mosques to be one of the potentials of community development. More broadly, the role of

the mosque is a place used for discussion, study, deciding on the problems of the Ummah, and others. What

is raised in the function model of the mosque is how to utilize the mosque more broadly for Muslims, not

only parents but also society in general, especially among children and adolescents. This paper proposed a

function model of the mosque with the digital information technology implementation. This is expected that

the mosque’s function is not just a place of worship but is more extensive than that.

1 INTRODUCTION

The young people of the mosque is one of the ele-

ments of the mosque management who have several

strategic roles in the process of achieving and de-

veloping young cadres in interacting and prospering

mosque activities by targeting the optimization of the

youth’s role in supporting work programs for the ben-

eﬁt of the people (Muchlis et al., 2019). The existence

of a mosque youth organization under the ﬁeld of

youth coaching is fundamental to do the development

of models with a variety of methods so that the abil-

ities and development of individual adolescents can

become a reinforcer and agent of the changing people

in the organization. The place to socialize and often

meet among young people is an important thing to do

to be able to raise the potential that exists in young

people so that moral and spiritual aspects are formed

in addition to fostering togetherness in the organiza-

tion of mosque youth organizations (Karimshah et al.,

2014).

Childhood through adolescence requires coaching

and a strong will so that a young man can be inde-

pendent so that the potential in the organization and

productive resources of adolescent mosques have fun-

damental prospects in the present and the future (Ba-

tri, 2013). In a further view, the existence of mosque

youth is one of the resources that must be able to be

optimized. It needs to get the attention and guidance

of all elements of society without exception (Sapri

et al., 2016).

For this reason, it is time for the effectiveness of

the functions of mosques to be one of the potentials of

community development. The character of the young

people in the mosque should be able to become one of

the potential development of the people. The person-

ality of the mosque’s youths that are expected by the

people and nation can be formed into a young gener-

ation that is useful for himself and his family. With

the above arguments, it is necessary to conduct many

training and use of information technology in access-

ing the internet within the mosque. At present many

mosques only function as places of worship, whereas

more broadly, the function of the mosque is a place

used for discussion, study, deciding on the problems

of the Ummah, and others (Sumaryanto et al., 2016).

What is raised in the function model of the mosque

is how to utilize the mosque more broadly for Mus-

lims, not only parents but also society in general, es-

pecially among children and adolescents (Bakri et al.,

2018).This paper proposes a function model of the

mosque in the implementation of the technology as

the development towards the industrial era 4.0. This

is expected to be able to encourage more worshipers

to use internet features in the mosque environment so

that the mosque’s function is not just a place of wor-

ship but is more comprehensive than that. The train-

ing conducted in the mosque environment consisted

of training on installing, setting up, and managing the

network, and some managements of the mosque and

digital content could be improved.

2 PROBLEM

From a social perspective of the mosque XYZ, the

community still carries the principle of mutual co-

operation, but many of the mosque’s youth are not

socializing with each other. Routine activities are

also less active. Some agendas go well enough even

though few people handle them. In terms of techno-

logical insight, young people are not left behind in

the development of information technology, and even

social media is very familiar and able to use it. Uti-

lization in the ﬁeld of technology still needs to be de-

veloped and directed to support the skills of mosque

youth and be encouraged to be active in ongoing ac-

tivities (Aziz et al., ).

Some Muslim teenagers have not been sufﬁciently

active in mosque youth activities. The activities of the

mosque’s youths were merely fostering landﬁll and

commemorating Islamic holidays. The potential of

the internet has not been utilized optimally and also

complaints of mosque congregants with many chil-

dren playing in the mosque when the prayer takes

place since it is disturbing them.

From the determination of the priority scale, it can

be taken a solution that has been offered to resolve the

problems systematically in accordance with the prior-

ity scale of the problems obtained from the observa-

tion and discussion with other elements. The solu-

tions which are offered consist of requiring to use in-

ternet network access in the mosque area so it makes

the mosque as a place that functions more broadly. It

also needs a variety of training and coaching, includ-

ing introducing information technology and directing

children to use the play method. The problem list of

the condition of the mosque XYZ faced is shown in

Figure 1.

But to limitation problem should be in line with

the concept of the digital information technology im-

plementation of the mosque XYZ in the issue of the

industrial era 4.0, these parts must be directed to

this implementation of the digital information tech-

nology including the model of technology, knowledge

of technology, and its components used.

Figure 1: Problem list of the condition of the mosque XYZ.

3 METHODOLOGY

This paper uses an analytical review that are tailored

to the relevant framework. In applying digital infor-

mation technology in the XYZ mosque, it has used

analysis, and of course, it was accompanied by mak-

ing observations. This analysis is carried out objec-

tively by determining the aims and objectives in im-

plementing digital information technology and also

identifying the targets to be achieved to obtain the pri-

ority scale (Wibowo, 2018). This paper has applied

the Eisenhower Matrix, which can be shown in Fig-

ure 2. There are 4 points i.e., do ﬁrst, do later, elimi-

nate, and delegate. Do ﬁrst means the problem is very

urgent and important to be solved immediately. Do

later means the problem is important and not urgent.

Eliminate means the problem is not important and not

urgent. Delegate means the problem is urgent and not

important.

problem to be solved in implementing the digital informa-

tion technology

made, then make a priority scale by applying what

is obtained from it turns out that the mosque XYZ

needs a website as transparency of information and to

replace paper as a media that is not environmentally

friendly. Because the results of the deliberations were

decided to reduce the use of paper and go to the plat-

form of go-green. For this purpose, the website be-

comes an information channel, which then the infor-

mation and articles will be shared through the What-

sapp group so that no more paper is distributed.

In addition to supporting more recent develop-

ment activities, it is necessary to get the internet ac-

cess. So that internet network procurement becomes

the second priority by ﬁrst applying network analysis

to measure installation needs. Then apply the net-

work conﬁguration so that only certain people can

access it, so it is not misused. If there are pilgrims

who want internet access can contact the admin so

that their username and password can be conﬁgured.

With the hotspot, it can be developed to implement of

the IoT by utilizing mobile applications and informa-

tion technology applications (Wibowo and Hidayat,

2017). The design of the digital information tech-

nology implementation for the mosque XYZ can be

shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3: The design of the digital information technology

implementation for the mosque XYZ.

In making a website for this mosque XYZ, it re-

quires website content management that consists of

capabilities of a content strategist (CS), content writer

(CW), graphic designer (GD), and social media admin

(SM admin). CS plays a role in web content brieﬁng

so that the navigation determinant of content and its

contents can be monitored, CW has the role of writing

web content to be published, GD plays a role in mak-

ing images from the theme of the content. The results

of the website content then need to be reviewed before

it is published. Once published, web content can be

shared through social media in order to reduce paper

usage. Even though the application of this web con-

tent ﬂow can be directly regulated independently by

applying another website content management con-

cept. For the simple conditions of this case, just use a

few resources that are tailored to the needs and objec-

tives in its implementation. The trend in enforcement

is closely related to a small part of information tech-

nology applications.

4 DISCUSSION

The implementation of digital information technology

has been applied in the XYZ mosque to be in line with

the concept of industry 4.0 is illustrated in accordance

with Figure 4.

Figure 4: The implementation of digital information tech-

nology for the mosque XYZ

The ﬁgure above shows that the admin is as-

signed to manage the content of the website. For

the needs of this website so that it is easy to use

and more familiar with the operation of additional dy-

namic features, the website used is applying an open

source platform, namely Wordpress. While Word-

press theme is also implemented using WP mosque

theme which can be downloaded for free on the web-

site https://wpmasjid.com/download/. The features

displayed are sufﬁcient for information announce-

ments, articles, prayer times, agenda of activities

through videos and galleries, and other features that

can be embedded dynamically. Share information via

WhatsApp is also available. The needs of this website

are enough to be implemented at the mosque XYZ. In

addition, the mosque needs to be placed wireless ﬁ-

delity (WiFi) as a hotspot so that coaching activities

that require internet access can be available. Not only

that, an Arduino with a WiFi module attached can be

used to access WiFi by positioning it as a client and

server. Arduino can be afﬁxed with various devices

that can be controlled remotely according to the IoT

platform using the telegram application. Applications

that are controlled, such as alarms with multiple func-

tions that can be programmed, closed-circuit televi-

sion (CCTV) to monitor online, and so on. Mosque

worshipers can also access the internet through a va-

riety of mobile and desktop devices.

The appearance of this website is responsive,

where, when accessed on a mobile device, will fol-

low the size of the display, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5: Website of the mosque XYZ.

After conducting the study in the network man-

agement in the mosque XYZ, there are several things

that should be considered in implementing the place-

ment of WiFi router, including:

1. The existence of WiFi in a residential neighbor-

hood of the mosque XYZ, apparently there are

customers who use the internet network access

only to play online games, so if the router is in-

stalled, it will make incompatible with the aim

of building workgroups or education for teenagers

and the community who need internet access.

2. The existence of customers who distribute user-

name and password to their friends to access the

internet.

3. Subscription fees when using a connection via the

internet per month with unlimited access is con-

sidered.

So with various considerations and input from the

community members related to this matter, the net-

work installation for internet access is done stand

alone. Where the router for the access point used is

sometimes not connected to the internet through the

residential neighborhood network, but if it is needed

for unlimited internet access, the router can be con-

nected directly via the residential neighborhood net-

work. Connection for internet access can use a mo-

dem if needed for internet access can by ﬁlling in

internet pulses on the Simcard used. This Simcard

is inserted into the modem. The conﬁguration of the

router used is shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Router conﬁguration.

Figure 5 shows the network connection on the

router and several workstations or devices. It will au-

tomatically form a diagram by generating each inter-

net protocol (IP) address. This screen display is to

edit and it is enough to move the cursor and click the

mouse on the box or icon on the display. So the graph-

ical user interface (GUI) is quite interactive in its use

even in its setting of login.

5 CONCLUSIONS

In implementing digital information technology for

mosque XYZ, what is needed ﬁrst is information and

transparent reporting of funds, so for this purpose, it

is necessary to create a mosque website. The next

thing, for the need for information technology im-

plementation in the mosque, it is necessary to place

WiFi as a hotspot area that can be accessed by wor-

shipers and peoples for the education and activities of

the mosque management and the surrounding com-

munity. From the aspect of WiFi placement, it is ex-

pected that various alarm implementations will be de-

veloped that can be controlled through an android ap-

plication on a cellphone or television as a digital in-

formation board whose content can be remote using

the telegram application without making any android

application. In this case, WiFi can not only be used

as a hotspot but can also be used to develop applica-

tion based-on the internet of things (IoT) and remote

control using an android application. The information

paper doesn’t need to be shared anymore, just use the

information that is on the mosque’s website and dis-

tributed directly to WhatsApp. Videos or documen-

taries on mosque activities do not need to be stored on

the website, simply uploaded to Youtube and the link

embedded into the website so that it does not overbur-

den the mosque website hosting capacity.
