2025-07-16T11:05:00+08:00

The Hajj rituals training activity in Demak Regency in 2025
was motivated by the low technical and spiritual
understanding of prospective pilgrims (JCH) of the correct
procedures for Hajj according to Sharia guidance. Involving
1,200 participants, this activity used a communal religious
empowerment approach based on Participatory Action
Research (PAR) during Ramadan 1446 H/2025 M, held
centrally at the IPHI Building in Demak Regency. The main
objectives of the activity were to improve Hajj literacy and
mental-physical readiness and strengthen social cohesion
among pilgrims. The activities were carried out in three
stages, including briefing on the theory of Hajj fiqh, technical
practices and simulations, and spiritual-motivational
strengthening. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test
and post-test as well as direct observation. The results
showed significant improvements in fiqh understanding,
psychological readiness, and the formation of small support
groups among pilgrims. This training indicates a communal
and structured approach can create optimal worship
readiness and strengthen religious solidarity. This model will
become a national reference in sustainable communitybased Hajj pilgrimage coaching.

The Junior Secondary Education Completion Program (Program Tuntas Belajar tingkat SMP) in Muara Badak Village aims to increase educational access for learners who have not completed basic education. Through a non-formal education approach, this program supports learners to achieve equivalency with junior secondary school graduates. The methods used include learning assistance, basic skills training, and the development of character and learning motivation. Support from the village government, active involvement of tutors, and the enthusiasm of learners are key success factors of the program. However, challenges such as limited facilities, constrained learning time due to work commitments, and low initial literacy levels remain. Overall, the program has made a positive contribution to improving the quality of human resources in Muara Badak Village and serves as a model for inclusive and context-based educational development.
