SMART

Together with the Community, Enlivening Mosques & Prayer Rooms

SMART is Masjid Assalam’s outreach, learning, and assistance program for mosque and prayer-room management teams. It continues the program formerly known as Safari Dakwah with a stronger emphasis on friendship, collaboration, and practical follow-up.

What SMART Means

Sambang means visiting and being present. Rajut Tali Silaturahmi means building lasting bonds. SMART brings mosque administrators together to exchange experience, understand local needs, and develop realistic steps that fit each community.

Program Goals

• Strengthen relationships and collaboration among mosque and prayer-room administrators.
• Help administrators map congregational needs, local potential, and service priorities.
• Share practical mosque-management experience that can be adapted locally.
• Encourage transparent, accountable, and sustainable mosque services.
• Support mosques as centres of worship, learning, social care, and community empowerment.

Areas of Assistance

• Governance, team roles, and work planning.
• Congregation data and needs-based programming.
• Worship, da’wah, education, and volunteer activities.
• Infaq management, reporting, and congregational trust.
• Social services and community economic initiatives.
• Communication, documentation, and digital media.

Program Formats

From Friendship to Practical Action

A SMART visit creates space for administrators to exchange experience and identify practical improvements. Each mosque has different congregational needs, resources, and priorities. The discussion helps teams choose steps that fit their own circumstances.

• Identify the congregation’s most pressing needs.
• Discuss management roles and realistic program priorities.
• Explore cooperation between mosques.
• Agree on possible next steps through further coordination.

Prepare for Your SMART Consultation

Please share the mosque or prayer room name, location, contact person, main needs, preferred schedule, and estimated participants. Activity format, timing, and technical arrangements are discussed with the team.
