Explore ... I really like to explore. Exploring or traveling to the mosque is one of my hobbies.
As I grew older, I enjoyed it even more when traveling myself was very pleasant. Lots of experiences that I suddenly suspected. Hehe ... Whether it’s a bitter experience or a sweet experience. But for some reason I even enjoyed it, and made it addictive to travel even further.

Al-Irsyad Satya Mosque is the umpteenth mosque I visited. The atmosphere of the mosque is unique, the environment is beautiful, the cool air and along the road to the mosque are filled with fresh green grass.

This mosque was designed by Kang Emil (Ridwan Kamil). Al-Irshad Mosque was inaugurated at the 17th of Ramadan 1431 Hijri precisely August 27, 2010 ago.

The architectural concept that was made so that like this Ka'bah was shown by a kind of inscription in the south lobby. This inscription is likened to the location of the tomb of Prophet Ibrahim around the Kaaba.

The ceiling of the mosque, as if raising a box-shaped rods. The loading of boxes from the ceiling is a lamp. There are 99 in number, which describe the total number of the attributes of Allah. Each box is paired with graphic prints with the attributes of God. The coloring of this mosque also looks natural. Natural colors, such as gray, white and black appear to dominate the interior and exterior of the mosque. The walls of this mosque are not painted. The original gray color on the ventilation boxes on the mosque’s walls seemed to be left out.

Uniquely, in the place of the imam of the mosque, or the pulpit of the mosque, surrounded by fish ponds. In front of the pulpit, or in front of our prayer qibla, the wall is in a hollow design so that our eyes point directly to the scenery outside the mosque. This hole looks like a conical aisle. At the end of the conical corridor, there is a large ball that reads God’s lafadz.
