Abstract

This study aims to shed light on the government's approach to promoting community involvement in the creation of religious villages. The focus of the study is on community involvement, local government involvement, and policy solutions to ensure the success of Kampung Al-Quran, a religious village development programme in Lumban Dolok Village, Siabu District, Mandailing Natal District. Through the use of qualitative research, observations were concentrated on three distinct locations that served as the hubs of religious activity, interviews with six selected participants who held important positions and knowledge, and documentation data were collected. Including this study, the community actively participated in the construction of the Raya al-Muttaqin mosque, which serves as the central focus of the Kampung Al-Qur'an programme. The village government is still rigorous in how it exercises its authority at the local level, despite the fact that the government lacks an operational strategy for the sustainability of the Kampung Al-Quran programme. It is implied that the Kampung Al-Qur'an programme being carried out in an incalculable way. In order to strengthen the Kampung Al-Qur'an programme in an integrated and long-lasting way, a collaborative strategy is suggested in this article.
