TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – The month of Ramadan is synonymous with cleanliness, which is also part of faith. Cleaning clothes, prayer equipment, home areas, and even mosques has become a common practice among Indonesians during Ramadan. This activity can make people feel more comfortable during their prayers during the holy month.
Cecep Abdullah, an influencer who focuses on educating the public about the importance of maintaining the cleanliness of mosques and prayer equipment, said that cleaning mosques can strengthen a sense of togetherness and social awareness. “Cleaning mosques and prayer equipment is not only the responsibility of the administrators, but our collective responsibility as a congregation,” he said in a press release received by Tempo on March 4, 2026.
Cecep added that cleaning mosques with the community not only maintains the comfort of places of worship but also strengthens a sense of togetherness and social awareness. “This cleanup activity also serves as a positive example and serves as inspiration that can be implemented in the surrounding community to maintain environmental cleanliness together,” said Cecep in a press release received by Tempo on March 2, 2026.
Cecep, along with Attack Jaz1 Serbaguna, is collaborating on the “Mosque and Prayer Equipment Cleanup Movement” program, which targets 100 mosques in various cities across Indonesia. The hope is that this activity will support the community in creating a more hygienic and comfortable worship environment during Ramadan.
Kao Indonesia’s VP of Marketing, Susilowati, said that cleaning mosques and prayer equipment can improve the community’s quality of life. “We understand that cleanliness and comfort are essential for people to carry out their worship, especially during Ramadan. Therefore, through this “Mosque and Prayer Equipment Cleanup Movement” program, we want to be more involved,” said Susilowati.
There are various benefits of clean living in everyday life, including cleaning mosques and prayer equipment. Alodokter notes several important benefits of clean living for both physical and environmental health. First, it prevents the spread of disease. By diligently washing your hands, bathing, changing clothes, and maintaining a clean environment, you can significantly reduce the risk of infections such as diarrhea, flu, skin diseases, and dengue fever.
A second benefit is maintaining indoor air quality. Regularly cleaning your room, opening windows, and maintaining ventilation can prevent allergies, asthma, or respiratory problems caused by dust and dirt. Cleanliness can also help maintain mental health. A tidy, odor-free, and comfortable environment can reduce stress and anxiety levels. A clean, dust-free room can improve sleep quality, leaving your body and mind feeling more refreshed each day. Quality sleep is crucial for maintaining good mood, endurance, and concentration.
Another benefit of cleanliness is that it can help you feel calmer, more focused, and more enthusiastic about your activities. Maintaining cleanliness can also create a calm and peaceful home atmosphere, fostering family harmony.
