The Alpha generation is currently facing big challenges in balancing virtual activities and real life, where the high intensity of using devices often shifts priorities for worship, especially during the month of Ramadan. This dependence on digital screens triggers individualistic attitudes and reduces children's levels of religious participation. Therefore, this community service activity aims to increase the capacity of parents and children to implement time management and limit screen time effectively. The method used is a social marketing approach combined with participatory observation techniques, interactive visual promotions, and educational simulation games which were implemented in the Imaduddin Mosque Youth Hall, Medokan Ayu, Surabaya. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in understanding among children and parents regarding the importance of setting time limits for using devices. Generation Alpha children responded positively by enthusiastically setting their own daily priority scale between playing and worshiping without feeling forced. The implications of this activity include long-term changes to the social and spiritual dynamics of residents, the creation of a more harmonious family environment with minimal conflict related to confiscation of devices, as well as the revival of the function of mosques as centers of communal interaction for the younger generation. It is hoped that the independence of citizens in educating children will be able to build the foundation for a future generation that is digitally intelligent, mentally healthy and has a strong religious character.

This study was motivated by the low level of Islamic literacy among the people of Timbang Langkat Village, which has affected the development of character based on Islamic values. The purpose of this research is to enhance Islamic literacy as an effort to strengthen community character through a two-week community service activity using a participatory and collaborative approach. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with an action research model. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires involving 30 participants, including community leaders, mosque youth, and local residents. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the community’s understanding of Islamic literacy, increasing from 40% of participants in the “good” category before the activity to 83% afterward. In addition to improved understanding, there was also a noticeable shift in social behavior reflecting Islamic values such as honesty, discipline, responsibility, and social awareness. The implication of this study suggests that Islamic literacy plays an essential role in shaping the community’s religious character and can serve as an effective strategy for moral and spiritual development. This Islamic literacy-based community service program is expected to be developed sustainably in other regions, adapted to local social and cultural contexts.

This paper is motivated by the condition of the Nurul Firdaus Mosque, which has long been neglected and has minimal religious activities other than Maghrib and Isha prayers. This phenomenon reflects the decline in the mosque's role as a center of worship and social and religious activities in the community. Mosques, which should be places for fostering the community, are instead only used to a limited extent, often even locked outside of Maghrib and Isha prayer times. This study aims to explore in depth the factors causing low congregation participation and find solutions in the form of innovative collaboration between mosque administrators and the younger generation, especially Generation Z, in managing the mosque in a modern and inclusive manner. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and documentation. Informants in this study consisted of religious leaders, community leaders, mosque administrators, mosque youth, and the general public living around the research location. The research focuses on examining social dynamics, communication patterns, and forms of participation between groups involved in mosque management. Anthony Giddens' structuration theory is used as an analytical tool to understand the relationship between structures (rules, norms, and practices of mosque management) and agents (mosque administrators and youth) in shaping social change towards more open, adaptive, and responsive mosque management to the needs of the times. The results of the study indicate that the alienation of the congregation towards the mosque is influenced by the lack of innovation in religious activities, the absence of an accommodating approach to the younger generation, and weak communication and coordination within the mosque management body itself.

The activity of mentoring mosque youth in the routine of tadarus every Friday night at the Al Amanah Mosque, Ngingas, Waru, Sidoarjo aims to increase interest in studying the Koran in the community, especially among teenagers. Through the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, this service utilizes local potential such as the spirit of mutual cooperation, the presence of active mosque youth, and support from religious figures. The results of the activity show an increase in community participation in tadarus, an increase in the ability to read the Koran, and the formation of religious character and social solidarity between residents. This activity not only makes the mosque a place of worship, but also a center for inclusive and sustainable religious learning. Active participation of teenagers in tadarus activities is also a means of developing leadership and forming Islamic character. This activity is expected to be a model of religious-based community empowerment that can be replicated in other environments with ongoing support from various parties.

However, the solution taken is to approach teenagers through activities that suit their interests and build collaboration with related parties. This research recommends increasing synergy between BKPRMI, the government and the community to strengthen the success of the program.  

This research is community service research that aims to describe how mosque youth get together through Banjari training at the Al-Kautsar Dukuh Tengah Mosque. This service research uses Participatory Action Research (PAR) with observation and documentation data collection techniques. The author analyzes the data using data collection techniques, data presentation, data condensation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that mosque youth regularly and enthusiastically take part in Banjari training, so the relationship between mosque youth is always close because they often meet and greet each other and they have the same vision for Banjari. Banjari training is a means of improving skills to strengthen ties between mosque youth, which in turn can strengthen the community and spirit of togetherness in the Al-Kautsar Dukuh Tengah mosque environment.

This research aims to analyze the Remas Organization (Riyadhul Jannah Mosque Youth) KD Kampil Village, which was founded at the end of 2020. The problems that are the focus of the research include the lack of involvement of members, especially female members, lack of initiative from youth, and internal problems in monthly deliberations. The research methods used were participatory observation, interviews with the Head of the Organization, Ahmad Syafi'udin, and analysis of documentation related to organizational activities. The research results show that the lack of involvement of female members is influenced by the large number of female members who are married, while the lack of youth initiative is caused by the workload of young people who are already working. Internal problems in monthly deliberations involve disagreements between members and inconsistent attendance. Proposed improvement efforts include increasing the involvement of female members through special programs, encouraging youth initiative through leadership training activities, and improvements in the deliberation process to increase the effectiveness of meetings and minimize conflict. It is hoped that this research can contribute to improving the performance and involvement of members in the KD Kampil Village Remas Organization.
