Transformasi Masjid Tradisional menjadi Smart Mosque: Perspektif Psikologi Islam terhadap Perubahan Sosial dan Spiritual

Abstract

The development of digital technology has penetrated various aspects of life, including religious practices, requiring mosques to adapt to the modern era without diminishing their spiritual essence. The transformation of traditional mosques into smart mosques is a potential solution that can enhance operational efficiency while supporting the social and spiritual experiences of congregants in a holistic manner. However, understanding the impact of technology on the psychological well-being of congregants and the integration of Islamic psychology principles in smart mosque design remains limited. This study employed a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with five key informants, namely mosque imams/administrators, active congregants, technology managers, community leaders, and Islamic psychology experts, to explore their experiences and perceptions of mosque transformation. The findings indicate that technology in smart mosques facilitates social interaction, enhances focus and spiritual engagement, and enables the development of an integrative model combining technical efficiency with Islamic psychology principles. These results provide both theoretical and practical contributions for the development of smart mosques that harmonize technology, social interaction, and spiritual well-being, and serve as a foundation for managing modern mosques that prioritize human-centered and Islamic values.
