Participatory Action Research (PAR) was the methodology used to collect data by way of Surveys, Interviews, Observations, and Focus Group Discussions involving; Mosque Administrators, Youth Participants and Community Leaders. The results of the study have shown that there have been significant gains in Mosque Governance Improvements, with 60% of all takmir now using Structured Administrative and Financial Systems; Youth Participation has increased from 30% to 65%; there has been successful legalization of Waqf Assets (AIW); as well as community engagement increases through Integrated Educational, Health & Social Programs.
