Masjid Jami’ Al Ikhlas

Tucked away in the bustling heart of Jakarta, Masjid Jami’ Al Ikhlas whispers tales of resilience and transformation. Originally situated in the Pedurenan area of South Jakarta, this mosque embarked on a journey, finding its new home in Ciracas, East Jakarta. Masjid Jami’ Al Ikhlas stands as a testament to the dedication of its community. The mosque’s story began with a generous waqf, a charitable endowment, from Raibah, later continued by Hj. Sitinah. This act of faith laid the foundation for a place of worship that would serve generations to come. The land, a modest 379 square meters, was officially designated for the mosque in 1996. The first stone was laid on March 9, 1996, a date etched in the mosque’s history. Just a few months later, on June 22, 1996, the newly constructed Masjid Jami’ Al Ikhlas opened its doors, inaugurated by the then-Camat (district head) of Ciracas, Endjang Abdullah. From its humble beginnings, Masjid Jami’ Al Ikhlas has continually evolved. The mosque has undergone numerous transformations, improving its facilities and expanding its activities to serve the growing community. Masjid Jami’ Al Ikhlas has been guided by a series of dedicated leaders. From Ustadz H. Ahmad Sanusi, the first chairman, to Ustadz Mukhtar, S. Pd.I, who led the community until 2020, and now Ustadz Suheli, S. Pd.I, each leader has played a vital role in shaping the mosque’s identity. Masjid Jami’ Al Ikhlas isn’t just a place of prayer. It’s a community hub, fostering social harmony and offering a space for religious study and reflection. It strives to embody the principle of “Memakmurkan Masjid dan Dimakmurkan Masjid” – to prosper the mosque and be prospered by it. This principle resonates through the mosque’s activities, enriching the lives of its members and the surrounding community. Masjid Jami’ Al Ikhlas continues to evolve, embracing change while staying true to its core values of faith, community, and service.
