Bridging Tradition and Technology: The Digital Transformation of Cooperative Practices at Masjid Al-Ala

Abstract

The Sistem Koperasi Masjid Al-Ala is a web-based platform developed to modernize and streamline cooperative management at Masjid Al-Ala in Jitra, Malaysia. By addressing the challenges of ineffective management, limited transparency, and low member engagement, the system aims to enhance operational efficiency, financial transparency, and member participation. Built using the Prototyping Methodology, the system incorporates user feedback to deliver seamless functionalities such as membership registration, investment tracking, and financial reporting. Usability testing, involving 30 participants, highlighted the system’s strengths in navigation, design appeal, content clarity, and functionality, with mean satisfaction scores ranging from 4.28 to 4.54 on a 5-point scale. Reliability analysis using Cronbach’s Alpha further confirmed the robustness of the evaluation instruments. User feedback underscored the need for additional features, including mobile accessibility and enhanced administrative tools such as advanced search and pagination. The findings demonstrate that the Sistem Koperasi Masjid Al-Ala effectively bridges the gap between traditional cooperative management practices and modern digital solutions, paving the way for greater community engagement and operational sustainability. Future enhancements will focus on expanding mobile capabilities and refining administrative functionalities to better serve the evolving needs of the mosque community.
