The phenomenon of online gambling is very disturbing and has a negative impact on people's lives. Among the negative impacts of online gambling are the destruction of households, financial bankruptcy, and criminal acts. One religious institution that plays an important role in preventing online gambling behavior is the mosque. The purpose of this study is to explain the role of mosques in preventing online gambling behavior in society. This research method uses qualitative research. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research location was at the Al-Mujaddid Mosque in Pasar Kemis, Tangerang. Participants were 3 people, consisting of 1 mosque administrator and 2 permanent mosque ustadz. The results of the study indicate that the role of mosques in preventing online gambling behavior is: (1) Providing understanding to the congregation and the surrounding community regarding the negative impacts of online gambling behavior, (2) Holding activities to increase faith such as regular religious studies held every day after dawn, religious studies every Saturday and Sunday after dawn, and special religious studies for mothers about faith, worship, mu'amalah, and morals to improve the quality of faith and piety. This research emphasizes the crucial role of mosques as centers for community development in addressing moral challenges, particularly the highly dangerous phenomenon of online gambling. These findings provide a model for religion-based prevention that can be implemented in other mosques.
