From what I have noticed, year by year Jama'ah in mosques relatively stable. Mosques are full or even overload when Juma'ah, and ....... yes, ... empty in other time.
I like it your good selection for your post. Really these Mosques are very beautiful and amazing. I like it all the pics of Indonesia mosque. All the mosques are very beautiful but my personal choice in all mosques is Taaj Mahal of Riau province. It’s a very nice mosque. Inshallah ul azeez I am visit this mosque.
Masjid Al-Irsyad Kota Baru Parahyangan. (Photo: 2dheart.wordpress.com)
Al-Irsyad mosque is located in West Bandung regency. This mosque was built in 2009 and was completed in 2010. The shape of the mosque at a glance just like a big cube Like the shape of the Dome building in Saudi Arabia. With this concept, from the outside looks black stripes all over the walls of the mosque.
The mosque designed like Kabah. Basically in gray. The overall arrangement of bricks on the walls looks very impressive. The bricks are arranged in a hole or a gap in the solid brick. Construction of the mosque was orchestrated by famous architect Ridwan Kamil (now Bandung city mayor). He created a unique design of a mosque that utilize sunlight. Qiblah direction designed oen, without wall that shows the natural landscape. At dusk, the sun tinge will enter from the front of the mosque were not walled.

The classical argument of Indonesian when a foreigner sees an old building that not maintained well. "Oh, sir, that building is categorized as cultural heritage. So we cannot renovate because it would make that building lose its original appearance".
Pain and hardships allow you to grow spiritually Alhamdulilah so smile when a so called calamity befalls upon you.
Alhamdulilah Allah swt is the greatest.
Today I perform salah asr in Masjid Al-Imtizaj, a small mosque with Chinese architectural style that located in Cikapundung street, Bandung.
Masjid Al-Imtizaj is a fairly new mosque that built in 2010. The idea to build this mosque came from Mr. Nuriana (former governor of West Java) who wanted to give gifts to converts from among the Chinese ethnic. The mosque was designed by the architectural team headed by Mr. Danny Swardhani who has designed several mosques, including masjid Atta'awun. (post #44)
Masjid Al-Imtizaj also known as Masjid Ronghe in Chinese language, or Masjid Pembauran in Indonesian language, which all mean "assimilation".
