The Role of Mosques in Preventing Population Decline

Document Type : The Quarterly Jornal

Abstract

The mosque and the role of the people of the mosque in guiding social activists in increasing the generation of believers is very important. Guiding the people towards the survival and increase of the pure generation will take place in the mosques. In addition to the profound impacts on social structures, population growth will depend on human factors and social actors. In the religious community, the agency of the activists is manifested in the mosques as places of worship. Meanwhile, the role of religious elites (scholars) in intellectual guidance and social behaviors is very significant, and today any social actions depend on elite role-playing. Hence, how can mosques, as a social place and the place of the emergence of ideological thinking and Islamic worldview, play a role in reducing demographic harms? To answer this question, the study has used an analytical-descriptive method that describes events and phenomena based on descriptive information. The findings of the study indicate that human factors in the elite reference groups of mosques can extract religious theories from the source of the Holy Quran and its ijtihadi interpretation to orient the thought and behavior of social activists; they can also prevent population decline by explaining the multiplicity of births. Providing effective solutions in this prevention is one of the innovations of this study.
