Design and Development a Web Platform Portal for Mosque Financial Management

Transparency and accountability in the financial management of mosques is an area that requires significant attention because it builds the initial trust of the mosque in collecting funds through infaq and waqf. Currently, many mosques still use whiteboards as a tool to present their financial reports. This poses a problem for mosques when delivering financial reports to donors who live far away. Therefore, a tool that can serve as a medium for financial reporting is needed. Based on this need, the research aims to create a web-based mosque financial portal to record income (donations, alms), qurban records, and expenses. In other applications, each mosque uses an application designed for each mosque. This software has been developed to accommodate the needs of each mosque and is integrated into a single application portal. The development of this application uses the Waterfall method, which involves various stages such as user requirements, system design, implementation, and testing. This financial portal was successfully implemented in 11 mosques and prayer rooms across 5 provinces. This application features recording income (donations and alms), qurban records, and expenditure records. The test results show that many mosques can use this financial management portal to record income and expenses. Finally, we can conclude that this web-based mosque financial portal would be a viable solution to enhance the accountability services of mosques in managing their finances.

Desain Lemari untuk Masjid di Kecamatan Cisaat Kabupaten Sukabumi

Cisaat Subdistrict has many mosques that are actively used by the community for various religious and social activities. However, based on an initial survey, it was found that many mosques in this area still lack adequate storage facilities to store various religious items such as Qur'ans, Islamic books, prayer garments (mukena), and sarongs. To address this need, the social service team designed a cabinet using a systematic and structured design method with a minimalist and ergonomic concept. The mosque cabinet design was created using Autodesk Inventor software with dimensions of 800 mm in length, 350 mm in width, and 1200 mm in height. The design for storing sarongs and prayer garments uses a closed concept (drawers), while the design for storing Islamic books and Qur'ans uses an open concept (shelves). Through this social service program, it is expected that an optimal design can be obtained to meet the cabinet needs of mosques in Cisaat Subdistrict, making this design a reference for mosque management committees in creating optimal and functional mosque cabinets.

However, educational activities require quite a long time, so the mosque management schedules learning activities periodically. In addition, mosque congregations have a very high diversity and density of activities, especially mosque congregations in urban areas.

This paper offers a solution by teaching with a hybrid learning method between project learning and peer teaching. Projects are created based on the needs of the environment and the congregation. The project development team is formed from worshipers who can work on projects. Other congregants receive knowledge through the project development team when the project is in the process of being created and run. This hybrid learning was experimented with by creating an aquaponics project. Aquaponics is operated with solar electricity. The project development team consists of a congregation of children to parents. The project has successfully transferred knowledge to the project development team members. The project operation attracts non-team worshippers to discuss independently with team members. Some non-team members have developed fish farming independently.
