“Imagine a green lung. What am I talking about? I’m talking about Hutan Kota by Plataran. Right here, nestled beside the Tigadari Plataran GBK building, stands Mushala An Nur.
This is not just any musala. Mushala An Nur is a unique and magnificent prayer space. It offers a tranquil escape in the heart of Jakarta.
Picture this. It was late in December. The musala opened its doors. The public could use it. However, the official inauguration happened later.
Yozua, Founder and CEO of Plataran Indonesia, explains the concept. He says the musala uses natural materials. It embraces an open design. This design connects the space with nature.
Look closely. The musala’s deep brown walls are made of wood. The wood pieces are arranged to create a room with small openings. These openings aren’t just for show. They allow air to flow freely.
The design reflects the characteristics of the Indonesian archipelago. It aims to create a comfortable prayer environment. Large trees surround the musala. The air conditioning provides additional comfort. Worshippers can feel at peace here.
The Chairman of the Indonesian Mosque Council, Jusuf Kalla, inaugurated Mushala An Nur. It was the first musala he inaugurated as Chairman. He also performed the Maghrib prayer there for the first time.
So, take a moment to appreciate this unique space. Mushala An Nur is more than just a place to pray. It is a sanctuary. It connects people with nature and faith. It’s a testament to Indonesian design.
