Abstract

Purpose: This study addresses the inefficiencies in mosque governance, focusing on Masjid Baitussyarif Muhammadiyah, Jambi. The research aims to improve administrative processes, financial transparency, and community engagement through an Android-integrated management system, emphasizing the growing relevance of digital solutions in religious organizations.
Methods: Using a participatory action research framework, the system was developed and implemented through collaborative efforts with mosque administrators. Key activities included needs assessment, agile system design, training sessions, and iterative feedback collection. Data were analyzed through a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews.
Results: The system reduced administrative workload by 45%, increased financial transparency, and enhanced user engagement, with 85% of users reporting high satisfaction. The initiative also promoted digital literacy within the community and fostered trust between the mosque management and congregants.
Conclusions: The Android-based system demonstrates significant potential for improving mosque governance and community empowerment. While challenges such as initial resistance and connectivity issues remain, the findings suggest that mobile-based information systems can bridge the gap between traditional practices and modern governance needs. This model offers a scalable framework for similar organizations seeking digital transformation.
