MANAGEMENT OF ALMS FUNDS AT THE BAITURRAHMAN GRAND MOSQUE OF ACEH ACCORDING TO THE CONCEPT OF RI'AYAH AL-MASJID

Abstract

This research aims to examine the management system and utilisation of alms funds within the framework of the concept of ri'ayah al-masjid at the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque. The focus of the research covers various aspects, such as the physical condition of the building, architecture, facilities, beauty, cleanliness, security, and management functions. Through a qualitative approach, this research aims to identify inhibiting factors in the management of alms funds and analyze in depth the effectiveness of the management and utilization of these funds. Data collection methods include interviews and documentation, with the research results presented in a narrative. Based on the study results, the management and utilization of alms funds at the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque have been running well, indicated by the preparation of financial reports regularly every month. However, from the perspective of ri'ayah al-masjid, the maintenance of the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque facilities still faces several obstacles. For example, several facilities are still lacking in maintenance, which has an impact on the disruption of the comfort of worshipers when they worship.
