Meanwhile, Jamil Azzaini, CEO of Kubik Leadership, attended the mosque seminar. According to Jamil, three things need to be done to become a mosque administrator who has many breakthroughs and gets support.
“First, I must know why I became the mosque’s caretaker. Without reason, there is no strong impulse. Second, it has privileges. If our mosque is to be large and visited by many people, it must have privileges that other mosques do not have. It should be the mosque where the people’s solutions are answered. For our mosque to look different from others, the mosque must be distinctive. And the last is synergy,” explained Jamil.
“Synergizing, sometimes a good mosque has a specific, unique program, but it will be stronger if we synergise. Moreover, there is an Empowering Mosque Collaboration, then remove existing obstacles, by determining new actions, learning from proven ones and quickly execution,” Jamil added.
“To the mosque is a journey of the heart, not a journey of the foot. To the mosque until old, don’t wait for old. Go to the mosque until death, do not wait to die,” he concluded.
