, this mosque was a place of refuge for Lembang residents, whose houses were burned. Although simple, and the place where this mosque was built with walls made of wood and brick, this mosque made the refugees feel safe.
Then, this mosque was renovated extensively in 1979, and expanded to 4,000 square meters, and with a main building of around 2,000 square meters. The dome of this mosque became a typical Middle Eastern onion dome, which is equipped with four towers in each corner.
In addition, this mosque also became an education center starting in 1986. And this mosque is not only a religious icon, but is currently a favorite destination for residents visiting Lembang. In 2015, this mosque was renovated again, which in the end this mosque could accommodate up to more than a thousand worshipers.
And this mosque has three main doors, namely north, south, and east, and has been renovated to be more artistic and very magnificent. This indicates the development of the surrounding culture that makes Lembang a tourist center so that the mosque also develops as a tourist spot too.
That's all I can say, how do you think this mosque feels very comfortable, especially since there are many Islamic icons inside and there is a lot of calligraphy on the walls of the mosque. It is very magnificent and I think it is very artistic. Maybe that's all I can say. See you in the next story.
