JAKARTA - The Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance (Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance) of the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) has announced recipients of operational assistance for mosques and prayer rooms. The total budget prepared reached Rp6.9 billion.

The Ministry of Religion provides a budget of Rp. 20 million for each mosque and Rp. 10 million for each prayer room. In total there are 380 mosques and prayer rooms designated this year.

"Of the 22,147 application documents that entered the Mosque Information System (Simas) during the two weeks of opening registration some time ago. The mosque will receive assistance of Rp. 20 million, musala of Rp. 10 million," said Director General of Islamic Community Guidance Kamarudin Amin, Thursday, October 14.

According to him, the 380 mosques and prayer rooms that qualify for the assistance will be contacted by the local Ministry of Religion.

“It can be from the regional Ministry of Religion or the local KUA. Then it will be scheduled for field verification from local Ministry of Religion officials," he said.

After the field verification is complete, all documents will be collected at the Central Islamic Community Guidance for further processing. No later than two weeks after the file is received, the assistance will be immediately disbursed.

Meanwhile, Acting Director Urais Binsyar Ismail Fahmi said, seeing the high interest from the community and the limited budget provided, the selection process was carried out very strictly and the system was knocked out.

“In addition, we also mapped the number of applications from each province. For example, first we determine the provincial quota from the number of applications that enter nationally, after that we select starting from the first data entered in each province, if there are those who do not meet the requirements or there is a slight error, they will immediately fall out," he said.

Ismail added that there were many recommendations that did not include those from the local Ministry of Religion or did not comply with the established standards, such as recommendations from mass organizations and local governments. Then, many of the documents that stated the truth were not stamped, besides that, many accounts were still in personal names.

"We hope that this operational assistance can be used by the takmir and mosque/musala administrators to meet the needs of implementing health protocols and accelerating the handling of COVID-19," he concluded.
