The great mosque darus salihin idi

WHEN arriving in downtown Idi Rayeuk District, East Aceh, you will meet the Great Mosque of Darus Shalihin. You also believe that the look of this mosque is almost similar to the historic building in India, Taj Mahal.

Only Taj Mahal is a four-pointed tower, front-facing. But the Great Mosque of Darus Shalihin is not yet a tower. Enter the courtyard of the mosque from the south, the mosque building stands strong and magnificent. Six, out of nine domes, which have been built into their own beauty.

This view is right on the edge of Medan-Banda Aceh road. One other entrance is to the north. This road as a barrier between the mosque with the Idi District Court Office. In front of this mosque there is also a city park and Pandopo Regent of East Aceh, also Jalan Petuah Husen enuju to TPI Idi. The Great Mosque of Darus Shalihin is also widely spaced. The area surrounding the masjdi is about 8000 square meters or the equivalent of 20 rante. The wudhuk location is just east of the yard.

The closer to the mosque, the tranquility and beauty began to be felt. Take a look. On the walls of the south and north mosques are decorated with natural stone and beautiful ornament carvings. Flower shapes, stars, and spherical images are green, giving birth to a shady color while spoiling the eye.

Once inside, there is a cool and comfortable impression as well. No other emission from the ivory mosque / ivory mosque, made from mar-mar size 1.20 meters X 60 cm. Inevitably, after the prayers of the pilgrims are often tempted to rest inside the mosque. enter the mosque from the east, on the left side there is a staircase to the second floor.
Unfortunately, for now you can not ride it, because not finished construction. So did three more domes, and two towers have not been completed. "The mosque is able to accommodate 1,500 pilgrims, and if the second floor has been completed also able to accommodate 1000 more worshipers," said Chairman of the Daily Construction of the Great Mosque Darush Shalihin, Tgk M Ali Puteh.

Tgk M Ali Puteh, recounts that the Darus Shalihin mosque was first built in 1960, initiated by the elders of Idi Rayeuk, such as Tgk H Hasballah Hanafiah, Tgk H Amir Husein Almujahid, Tgk Amin KPN, Tgk Hasan Mahmud, Tgk H Nuriza, Tgk H Ismail Ben. "All of the first founders have been deceased," said Tgk M Ali Puteh, mentioning he joined the Darus Shalihin mosque committee in 1996.

According to him this mosque was built first semi-permanentberdasarkan funds that dikedekahkan by society. in addition to Darus Shalihin Mosque, at that time around Idi Rayeuk also have Baitul Manan Mosque, Masjid Gampong Jawa, Padang Mosque in Teupin Batee, Gurep Mosque, Darussa'adah Mosque Peudawa Puntong. At that time the status of Darus Shalihin Mosque is a large mosque of IdiRayeuk Subdistrict. Now, after the capital of East Aceh, moved to Idi Rayeuk, its name becomes a great mosque.

When the management of the mosque building committee was revised in 1996 (held by Drs Mahyuddin A Ubit, Tgk H Budiman Ahmad, Tgk H Abubakar Cut, Tgk H Budiman Husen and Tgk H Muslim), the new board changed the design of the mosque, almost similar to the Taj Mahal. The idea emerged when the committee was chaired by Nasruddin (former Vice Regent of East Aceh). "Every year the design of the house of worship continues to change because of the demands of the model and the development of the times. Base of the Great Mosque of Baiturrahman, as well as the Great Mosque of Darusshalihin continues to be renovated, "said Tgk Ali.

Currently, said Tgk Ali, Darushalihin Great Mosque is an icon of East Aceh district, and is a mosque pride of the people of East Aceh. Even so, said Tgk Ali, for the completion of all facilities Darus Shalihin Great Mosque more or less need Rp10 billion more. That's to build three more domes, two minarets, ornaments north of the mosque, second floor ceramics, yard, and fences. "What we need most is clean water for prayer. Because, the existing drilled well water black. Therefore, the need for water for daily prayers we buy,
even every month to absorb around Rp 6 million, "said Ali.

"Insya-Allah during the leadership of the Regent of Rockys every year the funds for the construction of the great mosque continues to be assisted. Only, the first year he served as a bupati who had no bantunan, "said Ali. There are also third parties, such as PT Medco. When will Shalin be the real Idi Rayeuk splendor? Certainly depends on the funding parties. Who else is not the government, the benefactors, and all of us.
