Rising majestically near the Kalimalang River stands Masjid Jami As-Syakirin. Its elegant structure is a testament to faith and community. This mosque in Cipinang Bali East Jakarta has a rich history. It began humbly in the 1970s. Over time the mosque underwent a significant transformation. A complete renovation in the mid-1980s gave it its current multi-storied beauty.
The renovation wasn’t without its challenges. The road outside became quite congested. This was due to the fundraising efforts. Donations were collected from passing vehicles. The construction caused a bit of a traffic jam. But the community rallied together. Their combined efforts resulted in the stunning mosque we see today.
