The mosque reflects all the activities of Muslims, the mosque is a benchmark and indicator of the welfare of the people both physically and spiritually. There are several mosques in Indonesia that are not carrying out their functions properly, due to the increasing pandemic and the lack of mosque administrators who have contributed to providing potential and ideas in empowering mosques so that the functions of mosques have decreased. Mosque revitalization has indicators of Idaroh Maddy or (Physical Management), Idaroh Ruhiy or (Funcsional Management). The mosque even has areas as pilot centers, namely the Idaroh (Managerial), Imaroh (Development and Empowerment) and Ri'ayah (Maintenance) sections. The function of the mosque at this time must at least fulfill a number of things, namely: the mosque as a center for ritual worship, an Islamic education center, a center for economic empowerment for the people, a health service center for the people, a center for social services for the people, and the mosque as a center for information and communication for the people.
