In 1983, a seed of faith was planted. The Badan Dakwah Islam envisioned a grand mosque in Sekupang, Batam. This seed blossomed into Masjid Baiturrahim. The growing population of Sekupang needed a spiritual home. Construction began in 1986. Two years later, Masjid Baiturrahim stood tall. It was the second largest mosque in Batam, after Masjid Raya Baitusysyakur. Brigjend Soedarsono, then head of the Batam Authority, oversaw its completion. Masjid Baiturrahim became the heart of Batam, hosting important Islamic events and celebrations. The mosque’s design echoes a traditional Javanese joglo house. Its square base supports a three-tiered pyramid roof. Masjid Baiturrahim isn’t just a building. It’s a symbol. The top tier of the roof represents faith in Allah. The middle tier symbolizes human connection. The bottom tier connects humanity to nature. The mosque’s green hue and Javanese architectural details, like the wide porch and distinctive window frames, create a serene atmosphere. The original kapur wood window frames still stand strong. Masjid Baiturrahim sits on 3,000 square meters of land. The building itself covers 1,000 square meters. It can accommodate up to 2,000 worshippers. Masjid Baiturrahim has remained largely unchanged. It stands as a testament to the vision of its founders. It continues to serve as a spiritual center for the community.
