• Abstract

    The mosque is one of the most important places for the Muslim community to practice religious values (such as prayer and remembrance), which are also integrated with muamalah in their daily lives. However, in this era of modernization, there is a phenomenon that is quite strange and occurs in big cities like Yogyakarta, namely the decreasing awareness and interest of youths to visit mosques. When youths are away from the mosque, they tend to be free from control to engage in immoral behavior, for example, engaging in acts of delinquency. Therefore, an alternative model that is offered and can be used to overcome juvenile delinquency is to make the mosque a place for character building and the cadre of youths. Youth development in mosques aims to explore youth resources born from mosque-based programs to create youth who have noble and Qur'anic morals who can make a positive contribution to the benefit and welfare of society as a whole. Because historically, the mosque at the time of the Prophet Muhammad played a very important and broad role, that is, the mosque did not only function as a place of worship (such as praying, praying, and remembrance), but the mosque also functioned as a place for education and coaching of the people, a place for military training and preparation for war, a place to reconcile and resolve disputes, a place to receive envoys or delegates, a place to provide social assistance, and as a centre for enlightenment and defence of religion to build a glorious civilization.
