The mosque has been a spiritual and social centre for the Muslim community since the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Although mosques are generally managed by men, this does not negate the contributions of Muslim women (Muslimat) in enriching the mosque environment. This study aims to analyze the role of Muslim women in making the mosque a hub for social services. The study adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design. Three mosques and three small prayer halls (surau) from nearby locations were selected as the study samples. Study participants consist of active Muslim women committee members appointed. The study employs a focused group discussion protocol as the interview instrument. Data is transcribed and analyzed using the thematic analysis method with the Atlas.ti software. The study findings indicate that women also play a role in mosque enlivening (imarah), particularly in the realm of social services. The social services carried out aim to assist community members facing social, economic, health, and other issues, while also maintaining the well-being of women in the community. Activities undertaken include charitable sales, foster care programs, financial aid for chronic patients, recreational activities, charitable visits, grant (hibah) management, and collaborations with non-governmental organizations. The contributions of Muslim women through these social service activities benefit the overall community, strengthen social ties, and foster a harmonious environment within the mosque community. This illustrates that Muslim women also possess the potential to empower themselves and Muslim women in general through involvement in programs beyond the mosque environment. Therefore, both the community members and mosque administration should provide support and acknowledge the contributions of Muslimat in mosque enlivening, particularly concerning matters related to Muslim women.
