Abstract

This study aims to build a spiritual dimension of the concept of prospering mosques in managing mosque funds so that they can increase and maintain public trust in tithe, donations, and alms at the Pelita Grand Mosque in Samarinda. The methodology used in this research is the religionist method. The informants in this study were the Takmir of Pelita Mosque Samarinda, which included the Secretary of Mosque, the Treasurer of Mosque, and the Head of Education Section of Pelita Mosque Samarinda, as well as the congregation of the Pelita Mosque Samarinda. Data collection techniques used were interviews, library sources, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the spiritual dimension of the concept of prospering a mosque has a scope, namely faith, the hereafter, the internalization of prayer and zakat, and management. This dimension raises managerial principles in the mosques management so that it is vital in increasing public trust in giving zakat, donations, and alms at the Pelita Mosque Samarinda. The contribution of this research includes being able to expand the conceptual benchmark dimensions of prospering the mosque so that it can improve the quality and responsibility of the mosque takmir in terms of managing mandates, especially for people who have distributed ZISWAF funds.
