Congregational prayer activities in some places are encouraged to always keep a distance so that worship activities can take place, as usual, this appeal is carried out in an orderly manner and obey all the rules that have been made by some takmir mosque. In this study, researchers tried to put forward the role of mosques. Aspects but also based on the rules or religious values. Thus, it synergizes between the worldly aspects . rganizing and applyin. , with the ukhrawi aspect . he function of the mosque and the values of the Qur'a. The balance of two points of view takes precedence, mosques that put forward the rules and religious values. The role of the Mosque so far, in the condition and natural situation of the impact of covid-19. Masjid Al-Mahabbah Kabar village seems loose from religious activities and Islamic syi'ar-syi'ar as is often done as the routine of the Muslims, tak'lim councils become limited and fewer visitors, but the activities are always carried out while done gradually. According to the author's observation, the mosque serves not only spiritual needs related to God but also mosques that care about education, economic, and social surrounding communities. Good management is the key to returning the mosque to its true role. Although, natural conditions are hit by the hustle and bustle of the covid-19 pandemic atmosphere.

In the process, researchers tried to bring the conversation to the management of the mosque to the extent of the main role, and the role of the mosque is sought to continue during covid-19. Documentation, this data is obtained through the collection of documentation from objects examined with existing problems. During the role of the mosque during This research process is carried out continuously from the beginning of the research to the end so that it gives birth to inductive problems studied and then the process of searching or adjusting to the theory formulated in its entirety. Selection of data that has been collected, classification of data based on certain categories that support research problems, looking for the relationship between classified data and ideal theory about the application of management functions to the increasing role of mosques, interpreting data that has been linked between problems with existing theories, drawing conclusions based on the results of the analysis. The Foundation of Theory According to the term syara', the mosque is a building that is a place of worship of Muslims, which is usually used to perform the prayer of jama'ah. 18 The opinion of dama is also conveyed by Sidi Gazalba. He defines the mosque as a place or building that is built specifically to carry out worship such as prayer, dhikr, recitation of the Qur'an, and other worships, especially jema'ah prayer (Q. al-Jin: 18, al-Baqarah: . Almost the same definition formulated by Az-Zarkashi. mentioned that a mosque is a place that is reserved for praying five times. In The Great Dictionary of Bahasa Indonesia, a mosque is defined as a house or building where Muslims worship. Similarly. Sidi Gazalba interprets the mosque as a place of prayer. The mosque has a wider meaning, not just a building that is used for MoslemAos. Because, if the mosque is interpreted like this, then Mushalla, breaking, and so on can be used as a place of prayer for Muslims to perform prostration or servitude to Allah SWT. However, these places and the field that is commonly used to pray Eid al-Fitr. Eid al-Adha, and others are not called mosques. From the description above it can be concluded that the understanding of mosques can be classified into two categories. First, a special category, mosques are places or buildings that are built specifically to carry out worship, especially congregational prayers. Masjid Jami' fall into this category. Because it is used for Friday prayers and is usually large. Second, the general category, the mosque is a place that is only used for five times prayer, can be in the village, it can also be in an office or a public place. Mosques in this category are called mosques and usually not too big or even small as needed. In some areas. Musholla is sometimes named langar or surau. The Role of Mosques during the COVID-19 19 Pandemic The outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic since March 2019 has created a new civilization in the world. This is because the spread rate is quite aggressive compared to SARS and MERS, so COVID-19 kills more victims than SARS and MERS. This condition is troubling and worried about the community. On the other hand, the community to come to the mosque is very enthusiastic. This is because the function of mosques is very significant to human life, namely as a canter of worship, social, da'wah, education, politics, economy, culture, and civilization. Meanwhile, social interaction between worshippers in mosques is very intense. One of the contributing factors to the transmission and spread of covid-19 disease through social interactions between individuals. Also, the most intense jama'ah to the mosque to perform congregational prayers is the male-gendered JemaAoah. Ibn Taimiyyah and Ibn Al-Qayyim argued that men should pray in the congregation in Meanwhile, men are more at risk of exposure and death from the Covid19 coronavirus than women. Mosques can be a place of the spread of covid-19. Therefore, mosque administrators need to take strategic steps, there needs to be health transition-based mosque management during the covid-19 pandemic to prevent the spread and transmission of covid-19. This management incorporates elements of social conception and behavioral changes related to determinants of health determinants. Every worshipper who will enter the mosque must wash their hands first using hygienic soap. This handwashing place is not only used by pilgrims who will enter the mosque, but all residents can use it. People passing in front of the mosque can use it. In addition to building a handwashing place, the mosque management also made physical distancing signs, specifically, such as red crosses. The aim is to protect the health of the pilgrims who are part of the sharia objectives. This limit is intended to: first, create physical distance, not psychic or emotional distance, the social distance between JemaAoah. According to WHO, at least 1-3 meters away. Second, create social distancing. According to the U. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), social distancing is keeping a distance of at least 2 meters from others and avoiding crowds to prevent transmission of the disease. The goal is to avoid physical contact so that it can slow down and even prevent the transmission of covid-19 disease. The Role of The Mosque as the Canter of Islamic Da'wah Allah is all-knowing, all-wise. Especially in the Medina period, the existence of mosques is not only used as a center of worship that is makhdhah or special, such as prayer, but also has a role. first, as the Islamic calendar of the Hijri year begins with the establishment of the first mosque on the 12th of Robiul Awal, the beginning of the Hijra year falls on the 1st of Muharram.
