Third, the leader provides facilities such as roads, meeting halls, and prayer rooms to support socio-religious activities and improve the quality of life for the community, particularly in terms of better access to religious education. In conclusion, effective leadership successfully creates a religious community by strengthening religious values, fostering cooperation, and providing facilities that support ongoing social and religious activities.
