“Ar-Raudhah,” the name resonates with serenity. Here before us stands Masjid Ar Rodhoh, a testament to community spirit. It stands not just as a place of worship. It’s a symbol of unity in Jakarta. Let’s delve into the story of this special mosque.
Masjid Ar Rodhoh isn’t just one mosque. There are two mosques with similar names in Jakarta. We are visiting the Masjid Ar Rodhoh in Cibubur. Another one is in Pondok Kelapa. Both offer solace and spiritual enrichment to the local community.
Open 24/7, Masjid Ar Rodhoh is a welcoming sanctuary. It offers a space for prayer and reflection any time of day. Although I would love to tell you more about its history, sources offer conflicting information. One source mentions Masjid Ar-Raudhah. This mosque was initiated by Governor Heru Budi Hartono.
Located in Pasar Minggu, Jakarta Selatan, this Masjid Ar-Raudhah reflects Betawi identity. The mosque boasts a design incorporating gigi balang ornaments. This signifies a commitment to serving the Muslim community. Its construction embodies the power of collaboration. The Pemprov DKI Jakarta, BUMD DKI, Baznas (Bazis) DKI, and the community joined hands.
Spanning 500 square meters, Masjid Ar-Raudhah can accommodate 400 worshippers. Facilities include parking for cars and motorcycles, a canteen, and plant kiosks. Built on land owned by DKPKP, the project cost Rp 8.8 billion. Funds were raised without using the regional budget.
Back to our Masjid Ar Rodhoh. Both Masjid Ar Rodhoh and Masjid Ar-Raudhah exemplify community. They embody a shared commitment to faith and togetherness. As you explore this sacred space, take a moment. Appreciate the sense of community it fosters. Reflect on the spirit of collaboration. It brought this sanctuary to life.
