They build the neighborhood with its people; A mosque-focused experience in Asian countries.
Khosro Hosseini - IRNA International Correspondent.
🔹 In some Asian countries, the mosque, beyond its religious function, has become one of the centers of people's participation in the management of neighborhood affairs; From supporting needy families and creating opportunities for small businesses to providing assistance in times of crisis and organizing volunteer activities. Experiences from Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan and Uzbekistan show how the capacity of local institutions and social trust can be harnessed to meet some of people's needs.
One of the clear examples of the connection between the mosque and the neighborhood's economy can be seen in the Jogkarian Mosque in Indonesia; When Ramadan programs are not only limited to holding community prayers and religious ceremonies, and part of the local economy is also created around mosque activities.
