Al-Irsyad Mosque


Holy Ramadhan is coming! I usually perfom Taraweeh at Masjid Al-Irsyad the nearest local mosque. It’s a beautiful building designed by Mr. Ridwan Kamil. He said he just simply wish to build a mosque without complicated ornaments. Inspired by Ka’bah the mosque has a box shape, the wall caligraphed with Syahadat sentence from the brick holes so we can see the sentence from the lights coming from inside or outside. The ceiling has 99 lamps decorated by 99 Asmaul Husna.


Entering the masjid, your eyes soon recognize the open mimbar facing the mountain. It has pond beneath and a large solid ball engraved “Allah”. Subhanallah… Come here and do Salah/Prayer, Insya Allah you feel the calm for its peaceful ambience.
