hello Hive friends in this community this afternoon I went for a walk with my wife on purpose to take the time because the weather wasn't too hot today. and because we didn't have a definite goal, we just used up the oil in our vehicle, my wife took us for an evening walk to the mosque which had just been inaugurated last year by the local government of my city. and this mosque is named Alfatih Mosque and its address is on Jalan Medan Binjai. From my house to this mosque it only takes 10 minutes by riding my two-wheeled vehicle. Even though the distance is quite close, after the inauguration this was the first time I set foot in this mosque.
You can see for yourself the barren yard and some of the planted trees still trying to survive in the very hot weather of 38 degrees Celsius in my city. I am sure that in the next few years, if these trees grow evenly, the courtyard of this mosque will be very beautiful and the large courtyard of the mosque plus the many relaxing seating areas which also function as garden borders will make the courtyard of this mosque very beautiful in the future.
I have traveled a lot to various regions and seen favorite mosques in various cities and the Alfatih mosque, although architecturally it is quite magnificent, of the various mosques that I have visited, the Alfatih mosque is still a relatively simple mosque. However, the design of the Alfatih Mosque is very comfortable, so that visitors can not only get closer to God, but from the side of the mosque we can see a wide view and a gentle breeze which makes us feel more at home here. speaking from beside the mosque. Beside the mosque, the design is just like a plain field, but I can see here where the art is, where after the congregation has finished worshiping, they can take photos or freely enjoy the view from the side of this mosque.
then enter the mosque, the design used is also not too busy, only the dome is circular and a little religious calligraphy is decorated and to beautify the dome, it is given decorative lights which have a very simple design and in my opinion the lights have a size that is not commensurate with the dome so the light is very small if you look at it. However, everything is more harmonious because in my opinion the ceiling design is very fitting and not too excessive. very simple with abstract carvings on the edges of the ceiling.
then still talking about inside the mosque the pillars and walls in this mosque are made of premium quality marble and the abstract motifs and soft colors make a soft impression on the whole mosque and this impression is also emphasized by the colors and motifs used. use it on the mosque floor. one thing that makes this mosque seem luxurious is the design of the place where the imam is, the walls are made of striking black marble and there is a lot of calligraphy with a gold impression there, then move back to the outside of the mosque and I like the design of this window with the shape of the window glass and this is one of my favorite points in this mosque.
the carvings that surround the mosque building and the small hallways in front of the mosque make the simple design of this mosque seem very luxurious and this luxurious impression is emphasized by the carvings of gold dots located above the hallway and then the presence of the two mosque towers located on the right and left sides of the mosque makes all the designs more balanced. However, despite this, the construction of this mosque is not yet completely complete and we will see in the next 2 years how strong this mosque will be. whether it remains intact or was the construction corrupted by the developers so that the strength of the building became unstable.
The outer floor of the mosque terrace also uses a patterned marble floor and on the steps there are racks for shoes or sandals so they don't get scattered.
OK, that's all for now, my review of the new mosque in my city. Thank you for reading my blog. Hopefully next time I can convey better information, especially about architectural design. Greetings from me Tomidiwirja from Indonesia.
