This article discusses the role of mosques as centres of worship, education, and catalysts for community well-being through a holistic management approach. The focus is on the implementation of mosque management programs by assessing the challenges, effectiveness, and suggestions for strengthening the program. This study emphasizes the aspects of technological needs in mosque management, the involvement of congregations as a strategic asset, and an inclusive socio-religious approach. A qualitative approach is used for an in-depth examination of the practices, challenges, and outcomes associated with the research topic. Data obtained from secondary sources and literature studies show that the use of technology, such as the Anak Kariah portal and mosque management applications, has the potential to improve the effectiveness of mosque operations. In addition, the involvement of congregational members in mosque activities not only strengthens community brotherhood but also provides added value to community development. The results of this study also found that there are five main elements in the empowerment of mosque management, namely systematic program management, the use of data profiles of congregational members, collaborative networks with government and private agencies, the implementation of non-formal education programs, and the integration of technology in mosque activities This study recommends that mosques continue to play a proactive role in addressing the challenges of management by focusing on infrastructure development, religious programs, and strategic collaboration. In conclusion, mosques have the potential to become superior institutions that not only fulfil spiritual needs but also contribute to the social well-being of society.
