“A gift from the heavens,” whispered an elderly man, gesturing towards Masjid Nurul Burhan. The Jakarta sun glinted off the tiled roof. Masjid Nurul Burhan stands here, in Petukangan Utara, as a testament to community and faith. The story of Masjid Nurul Burhan intertwines with the generosity of the city and its people. In March 2018, Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan visited the mosque during a Mawlid celebration. He was so moved by the spirit of the community that he pledged support for renovations. The Jakarta Selatan administration, using Zakat, Infaq, and Shadaqah (ZIS) funds managed by Bazis, allocated 50 million rupiah for repairs. This act of giving underscored the government’s commitment to supporting religious institutions like Masjid Nurul Burhan. Deputy Mayor Anas Efendi, during the handover ceremony, emphasized the responsibility of the government in managing ZIS funds for the benefit of the people. He highlighted the importance of harnessing community potential for the betterment of the community itself. Masjid Nurul Burhan, nestled within the Al-Musyarrofah Islamic Boarding School, plays a vital role in the education of young minds. The head of Bazis Jaksel, Hj.

It was an investment in the future of Indonesia, empowering the next generation through education and religious guidance.
