Abstract


The development of digital technology has brought significant changes to the patterns of interaction, communication, and religious engagement among younger generations, including their relationships with mosques. This situation necessitates a reconstruction of the paradigm of mosque revitalization so that mosques are not merely oriented toward ritual activities but are also able to fulfill their spiritual, educational, social, and community empowerment functions in an adaptive manner. This study aims to analyze the concept of ‘Imārah al-Masjid in the Qur’an and formulate a mosque revitalization model that is relevant to the characteristics of the digital generation. The research employs a qualitative approach based on library research, utilizing the thematic interpretation method (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī). The research data are derived from Qur’anic verses related to mosque revitalization, particularly QS. al-Tawbah [9]: 17–18, and are supported by classical and contemporary Qur’anic exegesis, Islamic education literature, and studies on the development of digital society. The analysis is conducted through the identification of textual meanings, examination of interpretive contexts, and contextualization of Qur’anic values within contemporary social realities. The findings indicate that the concept of ‘Imārah al-Masjid encompasses a broader meaning than merely the physical construction and organization of ritual worship. Rather, it includes the strengthening of spirituality, the development of intellectual capacity, social empowerment, and the sustainable management of mosques.
