UQO An Environmentally Friendly and Family-Centric Mosque Fundraising System

Abstract

The mosque, for Muslims, essentially serves as the center for religious and social activities within the Muslim community. Islam encourages its followers to enrich and vitalize the mosque. However, in practice, many communities in Indonesia, especially in Java and Madura, conduct fundraising on the streets to build or renovate mosques. This leads to disruptions in traffic flow, diminishes the reputation of Islam, and poses risks to both individuals collecting funds and the public. Moreover, such activities violate the constitution and Islamic Sharia. This research aims to innovate and address the issue of mosque fundraising in an environmentally friendly manner, without disrupting public order, and in accordance with the constitution and Islamic Sharia. The study utilizes the Research and Development (R&D) methodology, employing the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development or Production, Implementation or Delivery, and Evaluations) in the development process. The outcome of this research is the Umplung Mosque (UQO) innovation. UQO provides a solution for mosque fundraising for construction or renovation. UQO is crafted from recycled materials, specifically used milk cans, equipped with fundraising barcodes. By using UQO, mosque administrators can eliminate concerns regarding the cost and location of fundraising activities. In conclusion, UQO can be considered an environmentally friendly, family-based, and applicable mosque fundraising system.
