From a financial management standpoint, potential strategies include identifying revenue sources, implementing efficient financial management practices, empowering the community to raise cash, and forming relationships with external entities. In addition, mosque financial management include accounting and financial reporting systems, internal oversight and control, the utilisation of technology in financial management, and the management of financial risks. This research offers useful insights to mosque administrators and other stakeholders in formulating more efficient and enduring ways for managing mosque finances.
