The unlimited spread out of God’s mercy, the highest sublime majesty, and the pure holiness always filling the every span in the mosque room. The pulling of the true luxury, the real prosperity, always created in the sense of mosque room. The quiet desolate of the prayer nuance, the sweet sounding of dzikir, The devout of sholat by the harmony, the soft spread of knowledge, always colored the mosque room. Mosque as a place to do all religious activities, and the other religious ardor take place. Not only just “provide a place for”, but also have more essence as a place where all human activities in the world centered. Where is the submission as a God’s creature go on.
