Kelestarian dana merupakan isu penting terutamanya bagi institusi yang bukan berasaskan keuntungan seperti masjid. Dana yang lestari membantu masjid memainkan peranan dan fungsinya yang pelbagai secara berterusan untuk memberi manfaat kepada masyarakat pada masa sekarang dan akan datang. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti (i) sumber dana; (ii) aktiviti pengimarahan; dan (iii) perkhidmatan komuniti yang disediakan; serta (iv) meneroka faktor-faktor yang menyumbang kepada kelestarian dana masjid-masjid di Negeri Sarawak. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan reka bentuk kajian kes, melibatkan 16 informan yang merupakan Ahli Jawatankusa Pengurusan Masjid. Sebanyak lima buah masjid yang dikategorikan oleh Jabatan Agama Islam Sarawak (JAIS) sebagai masjid yang aktif dengan aktiviti pengimarahan serta mempunyai dana yang lestari dipilih sebagai sampel kajian ini. Kaedah pengumpulan data pula menggunakan kaedah temu bual berstruktur dan penganalisaan dokumen manakala analisis data menggunakan teknik analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian mendapati derma orang ramai melalui kutipan Jumaat, derma berasaskan keperluan dan aktiviti masjid merupakan sumber dana utama bagi masjid-masjid di Negeri Sarawak. Hasil kajian juga mendapati masjid-masjid tersebut aktif melaksanakan aktiviti pengimarahan yang dijalankan secara mingguan, bulanan dan tahunan manakala perkhidmatan komuniti pula merangkumi aspek kebajikan, pendidikan dan sokongan sosial. Kekerapan aktiviti pengimarahan serta perkhidmatan komuniti yang dilaksanakan oleh masjid mendorong jemaah untuk terus menyumbang kepada dana masjid. Kesedaran yang tinggi untuk menderma dalam kalangan masyarakat setempat juga menyumbang kepada perolehan dana masjid. Implikasi kajian menyarankan agar institusi masjid dapat mengusahakan sumber dana lain yang dijana melalui pendapatan dan tidak terlalu bergantung sepenuhnya dengan sumbangan dan derma orang ramai. Aktiviti pengimarahan dan perkhidmatan komuniti yang sedia ada boleh dipelbagaikan dan diperluaskan agar dapat memberikan manfaat bukan sahaja kepada komuniti setempat tetapi umat Islam di Sarawak amnya.

Abstract: Sustainability of fund is an important issue especially for non-profit organisations such as the mosques.  Sustainable fund helps the mosques to continuously play their various roles and functions for the benefits of the community at the present time and in the future. The objective of this study is to identify (i) sources of funds; (ii) activities; and (iii) community services provided; as well as (iv) exploring the factors that contribute to the sustainability of the mosques' funds in the State of Sarawak. The study used a qualitative approach with the design of the case study, involving 16 informants who were members of the Management Committee of the mosques selected as samples of this study. The samples comprised of a total of five mosques categorised by the Sarawak Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) as active mosques with religious talks and with sustainable funding. The data collection method uses structured interviews and document analysis, while the data analysis uses content analysis techniques. The results of the study showed that public donations through Friday collections, and donations based on mosque needs and activities are the main sources of fund for mosques in Sarawak. The results of the study also showed that these mosques implement activities on regular basis, either weekly, monthly or annually, while community services include aspects of welfare, education and social support. The frequency of activities and community services carried out by the mosques encourage the congregations to continuously contribute to the mosques’ fund. The high awareness on donation among the local community also contributes to the mosques’ fund. The implication of the study suggests that the mosques as an institution must work on getting other sources of funds which can be generated through income so as not to rely too much on donations from the public. Existing outreach and community services activities can also be diversified and expanded to benefit not only the local community but Muslims in Sarawak in general.
