“Built in 2000” echoes in my mind as we approach Masjid Miftahussalam. This Jami mosque stands as a testament to faith. It is a place for the community in Penjaringan Jakarta Utara.
Masjid Miftahussalam is located on JL.Pluit Raya Nomor 5 Penjaringan. The mosque is not just a building. It is a vibrant center for spiritual life.
Let’s talk about the size. The land area is 300 square meters. The building itself covers 400 square meters. This provides ample space for worship and activities.
Masjid Miftahussalam is more than bricks and mortar. It is a thriving community. More than 200 people gather here regularly. Four dedicated muazin call the faithful to prayer. Their voices resonate through the neighborhood.
I want to share a verse with you. It emphasizes the importance of prayer. “Apabila kamu telah menyelesaikan sholat berdzikirlah kepada Allah.” This translates to “When you have finished prayer remember Allah”. Remember Him while standing sitting or reclining.
Masjid Miftahussalam also provides a schedule of prayers. In February 2025 the Shubuh prayer is at 0-3:35. Dhuhur is at 05:10 Ashar at 08:28 Maghrib at 11:20 and Isya at 12:32. These times are meticulously calculated. This ensures the community can observe their prayers.
Although details about the administrators and activities are scarce. The spirit of Masjid Miftahussalam is clear. It is a place of devotion community and reflection.
Masjid Miftahussalam may not be as widely known as Jakarta’s Istiqlal Mosque. Istiqlal Mosque is the largest in Southeast Asia. Istiqlal was designed by a Christian architect named Frederich Silaban. Istiqlal features a massive central dome. It can accommodate over 120000 worshipers.
But Masjid Miftahussalam has its own charm. It offers a more intimate setting for worshipers. It plays a vital role in the daily lives of its congregation.
Masjid Miftahussalam stands as a beacon of faith. It is a place where community bonds are strengthened. Its doors are always open. It welcomes those seeking solace and spiritual guidance. Remember this small vibrant mosque. It embodies the heart of Jakarta’s diverse religious landscape.
