Economic Empowerment of People Through Mosque

The idea of ​​a community empowerment through the mosque is not a new thing. This idea has been presented by many experts empowerment and keumatan. Only in the level of implementation often does not run properly.This is not out of a lack of supporting data about the potential keumatan comprehensive and accurate so that the process of community empowerment could be right on target. In such circumstances it is urgensitas mapping indispensable condition of the people.Nurmahmudi Ismail in a dialogue in Jakarta Islamic Centre on February 17, 2006, revisited the idea. He explained that in the context of economic recovery keumatan already time to go back to the mosque. The mosque is the smallest base closest to the Muslim community.He explained that the mosque committee should have data on the condition of Muslim communities in the vicinity, both the economy and social conditions.Even more important is the data about the condition of religious communities, particularly the picture of the activity of the five daily prayers society. Furthermore, the data is mapped and made in the form of geographic information systems keumatan.In line with this, the Chairman of DMI Jakarta, KH Zakky Mubarak asserted that the idea of ​​mapping the potential of people through the mosque is already long diopinikan. However, the level of implementation is rather difficult, need a lot of fund, as well as the need to mobilize cooperation with various parties.Apart from this, the mapping is needed to determine the condition of the people in real terms. Besides, we know well the extent of the positioning of the mosque with the congregation or the environment at the same time measure the level of human resource capability of the mosque as well as to determine the shape and the right system in the framework of the economic empowerment of the people.Prophet Muhammad has also been pointed out in the nurture and care of the whole purpose of the community, both in the economic, political, social, education, armed forces, and so forth through the mosque. The key to the management of the mosque.Masjid Nabawi by the Prophet Muhammad functioned as (1) the center of worship, (2) a center of education and teaching, (3) Islamic information center, (4) the central assessment and settlement problems of the people in the economic, social, political, and others. There are still many other functions of the mosque. But clearly at the time of the Prophet, the mosque used by him as a center of civilization. Central source of inspiration in developing the greatness and progress ideology.Prophet managed to establish its people although the composition of the existing structure of society turned out to communities with multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-religious. Finally, the community formed by the Prophet into a society that respected and admired both opponents and friends and become a leader in the world in his time.More concretely again Syafii Ahmad Mufid, Head of Training JIC, adding that the mosque is a place disemaikannya anything of value virtue, good dimensional ukhrowiyah transcendent and worldly shades in a line and policies for the benefit of others. But in reality, the function of the mosque nuanced less worldly role of the maximum. This is due among others;First, the gap in the functioning of the mosque. Mosque has not functioned properly in accordance with the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad. In general, what happens, mosques functioned only for ritual worship activities whereas social activities of worship has not been much done.
