بررسی عناصر تاثیرگذار در جذب حداکثری زنان و دختران جوان در مساجد فعال شهر تهران

یکی از مهم‌ترین عوامل در رونق مساجد حضور بانوان است که امروزه به دلایل گوناگون کم‌رنگ شده است. هدف این پژوهش آن است که نشان دهد مساجدی که در این زمانه توانسته‌اند زنان و دختران جوان را جذب کنند، چه ویژگی‌هایی داشته‌اند تا از این رهگذر بتواند این عناصر را به سایر مساجد پیشنهاد دهد. این پژوهش از نوع کیفی است و سعی کرده به روش تحلیل مضمون از مصاحبه‌های نیمه‌ساختاریافته از مسئولین مساجد، عناصر مهم جذب زنان و دختران جوان به مسجد را به دست آورد. نتایج نشان داد که عناصر تاثیرگذار در جذب حداکثری زنان و دختران جوان در مساجد فعال شهر تهران در سه دسته فراگیر فعالیت‌های فرهنگی (حضور در فعالیت‌های قرآن محور، مشارکت‌های فرهنگی و هنریو...)، اجتماعی (حضور در برنامه‌های مشاوره و خانواده محور، تعاملات اجتماعی و ارتباط محلیو...) و سیاسی (جلسات سخنرانی و هم‌اندیشی، حلقه‌های مباحثه و حضور در جلسات عقیدتی و...) قابل تقسیم است.

investigating the influential factors in the maximum attraction of young women and girls in active mosques in tehran

introduction: since the establishment of the islamic republic, women have com-prised half of society and have played a significant role in the continuity and de-velopment of islam. historical figures such as hazrat khadija and hazrat zahra (peace be upon them) are exemplary models of muslim women who contribut-ed meaningfully to the advancement of the religion. women have consistently held a prominent position in public and religious spheres, with their presence in mosques—key centers of religious, social, and cultural life—traced back to early islamic history. their religious participation has included attending congregation-al prayers, religious gatherings, charitable activities, and engaging with religious texts. in contemporary times, examining the factors that attract women and girls to mosques—particularly in active mosques in tehran during the year 1402 (2023)—has become increasingly important. this study aims to identify those factors and to explore both the extent of female presence and the specific programs designed for women and girls in tehran’s mosques.method: this research is applied in its purpose and employs a qualitative the-matic analysis methodology. data were collected through semi-structured inter-views with 12 participants, specifically female unit officials or commanders of active basij-affiliated mosques in tehran. a purposive sampling method was used, and interviews continued until theoretical saturation was reached—that is, until no new themes emerged. data analysis followed a thematic network approach, wherein basic themes were extracted from the interview transcripts, grouped into organizing themes, and ultimately synthesized into global themes. this analytical method enabled the systematic interpretation of data and facilitated the clear pres-entation of results through thematic network maps.results: the study was conducted to examine the presence, participation, and activities of women in active mosques in tehran, and to identify the key factors that attract young women and girls. the findings revealed that women’s activi-ties in these mosques can be categorized into three overarching domains: cultural, social, and political. examples include quranic education, counseling services, and ideological training sessions. these activities are consistent with the spiritual atmosphere of the mosques and align with religious teachings, thereby fostering the moral and social development of women. the results underscored the role of women as community activists and nurturers of a devout generation, positioning mosques as appropriate and effective spaces for engaging young female partici-pants. this study aims to contribute to a scientific understanding of female reli-gious participation and to offer actionable strategies for enhancing their involve-ment in mosque-based and cultural programs.discussion: according to the findings, women, adolescent girls, and female teen-agers take part in a wide range of mosque-based activities, including quranic lessons, academic and educational workshops, arts training, religious discussion circles, mother-daughter programs, parenting workshops, fitness classes, as well as recreational and pilgrimage trips. some mosques collaborate with external or-ganizations to offer diverse educational services. female engagement is further supported by effective communication from mosque leadership, attention to clean-liness and the quality of facilities, and the use of digital platforms for outreach. active mosques foster inclusive and attractive environments by involving youth in program management and responsibilities, which proves to be a successful strate-gy for engaging the younger generation.
