Hello everyone, how are you? Back again with Nurdiani Latifah. This time, I visited a mosque in Cianjur. Coincidentally, I was in Cianjur, this time. And stopped by for a while to pray. Well, the mosque was the choice because it is very strategic.
This mosque is located in the city center of Cianjur Regency, so some travelers who want to pray can stop by this place. This place is located on the national road, the main road, so it is very easy to worship. The most enjoyable thing, which I consider in this sense to be very unique in this place, is that this mosque is located in an Islamic boarding school environment.
Although it is located in an Islamic boarding school environment, the mosque was specifically made for the public, so that everyone who comes, any visitor can worship in this place. There are no prohibitions. In fact, security guards are ready to direct visitors who come. Directing the ablution area, bathroom and prayer room.
From what I saw, this place shows modern elements and traditional Islamic elements. So, it becomes a very interesting architecture. The front of the mosque is very thick with Islamic elements. Typical Arabic building carvings, round and Islamic elements are there starting from round shapes, moons and calligraphy with the word Allah, this writing signifies God.

But, on the other hand, this mosque also does not have a dome. This means that above this mosque it still looks a little modern but does not eliminate the Islamic element. Inside the mosque there are geometric ornaments typical of Islamic architecture. This also indicates that this motif has a mugah and sacred nuance.
On the other hand, for the dominant color of this mosque, it is dominated by green and white. Green and white also indicate coolness and purity for the mosque. Mosques are considered so far, Indonesian people consider that mosques are holy places, places for worship. Just like a church.
Another interesting thing is the prayer room. This prayer room is spacious and open and is only lined with green carpets. On the other hand, the pulpit of this mosque has white ornaments. This also gives the impression that there is a classic and magnificent impression. Inside the mosque there are geometric ornaments typical of Islamic architecture. This also indicates that this motif has a magnificent and sacred nuance.

Another interesting thing about this place is the lighting and ventilation, where the walls of this mosque use perforated ornaments. This also indicates that for its function, it functions for ventilation and natural lighting. Without using lamps, this mosque already has direct sunlight. This means that sunlight can enter the room and the mosque can be bright without using lamps.

The builders are also very smart to see, the entry of light is also where it does not dazzle visitors who come, especially those who worship. The entry of light is also used as ventilation for the room. The perforated walls of the mosque and several open rooms, this indicates to maintain comfortable air circulation.
Very interesting, but indeed the traditional elements of Islam are very thick. Maybe because it is in a pesantren environment. That's all I can tell you. See you in other stories. Don't forget to comment and like this post. See you
