EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE RELIGIUSITY OF THE COMMUNITY IN PADUKUHAN GEMBYONG

Abstract

The Gardha Adikarya Community Service activity at UIN Sunan Kalijaga was held in Gembyong Padukuhan. Gembyong Padukuhan is located in Ngoro-oro Village, Kapanewon Patuk, Gunungkidul Regency. All residents of Gembyong Padukuhan adhere to Islam. Several religious activities have been carried out in Gembyong Padukuhan, but the interest of the residents, especially the youth, is minimal. The purpose of this service is to increase the level of religiosity of the Padukuhan Gembyong residents. In order to achieve this goal, the Gardha Adikarya KKN team developed several activities including: Alqur'an Education Park (TPA), Becoming Imam and Muezzin in mosques and prayer rooms, Becoming a preacher and Imam every Friday, Tadarus reading prayers followed by studies and activities of Waqaf or Tahlilan. These activities are adjusted to the culture of the community and also the understanding of the community towards religious events.
