VISITING MASJID AGUNG KARIMUN MERAL IN TANJUNG BALAI

7th FEBRUARY 2019 ~ One of the prominent structures in Tanjung Balai is its Masjid Agung (or the Grand Mosque). There seems to a grand mosque in all the cities in Indonesia. The mosque is not at the town centre and we were sent there on two motorbikes by two hotel staff which cost us 30 000 Rupiah each.

This mosque was built on a 25 000 metres² land in 2003 and could accommodate about 4000 people at one time.

The place was huge and clean and well-taken care of.

There was this place for people to carry out their training before going for their pilgrimage in Mecca.

We were there quite early or else we could perform our afternoon prayers at the mosque. I, however, will not hesitate to make a comeback to Masjid Agung Karimun one day. People say good intention will always be granted one day.

VISITING THE GRAND MOSQUE AT TRANS STUDIO BANDUNG

16th September 2016 ~ When we first arrived in Bandung in 2014, the Grand Mosque [Masjid Agung] was still under construction. Two years later, we were already able to perform our prayers there, Alhamdullilah, praise be with Allah. 

The mosque was huge and was strategically built in a spot right opposite Trans Studio Bandung. It would be very convenient for Muslim visitors to stop by and carry out their duties and responsibility to Allah the Almighty.
