Empowerment of MDTA Students through Gebyar Muharram as a Means of Developing Islamic Talent and Character
Keywords:
MDTA, Muhharam Celebration, Islamic Character, Empowerment of StudentsAbstract
Purpose: The Independent Learning Community Service Program (KKN) and Independent Campus (MBKM) program, based on mosque research, conducted by Group 4 of FUAD UIN Fatmawati Sukarno Bengkulu, aims to empower students at the Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Awaliyah (MDTA) at the Syuhada Mosque. The choice of this location is based on the phenomenon of the Syuhada Mosque's suboptimal function as a center of children's civilization, where the MDTA learning routine tends to be monotonous and there is minimal space for talent appreciation, amidst the threat of digital disruption to children's character. Method: Through the "Gebyar Muharram" program, efforts are made to develop children's talents and develop Islamic character from an early age. The methods used in this service include participatory mentoring (Asset-Based Community Development) and educational competitions, with approximately 50 students participating. Competitions included the Adhan competition, Quran memorization (Tahfiz Al-Quran), and an Islamic fashion show. Findings: The results of this activity indicate increased self-confidence, stimulation of religious potential, and strengthening of noble moral values in the students. Implications: Mosques have proven to function not only as places of ritual worship but also as centers of civilization and effective non-formal education for the younger generation.
