JAKARTA - Two days later after the burial of Emmeril Kahn Mumtadz or Eril, the Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, expressed hope for his youngest child, Arkana Aidan Misbach.

Ridwan Kamil hopes that the two year old baby can continue Eril's kindness in the world.

"Dear Arka. It's time for you to continue the spirit of A Eril, to build a better and nobler world," said Ridwan Kamil, quoted from his Twitter account, @ridwankamil, Wednesday 15 June.

Ridwan Kamil promised to teach all goodness and cultivate knowledge to Arka like Eril had.

"We will love and educate you, as we love and educate A Eril," he said.

For this reason, Ridwan Kamil invited Arka to complete his family's dream to build the Al Mumtadz Mosque. A place of worship that bears the last name Eril.

The Al Mumtadz Mosque is planned to be built in the area where Eril is buried at the Baitul Ridwan Islamic Center in Cimaung, Bandung Regency, West Java.

"Bismillah, let's start by finishing the Al Mumtadz Mosque, Arka," said the close man who was called Kang Emil.

The plan for the construction of the Al Mumtadz Mosque has been under consideration since 2019. Ridwan Kamil designed the mosque himself on an area of 5 hectares.

In addition to public places of worship, Baitul Ridwan Islamic Center will also be built a da'wah center. This was conveyed by Ridwan Kamil after Eril's funeral procession in Cimaung on Monday, June 13.

"On this special occasion, allow us to announce that the mosque will be named as Masjid Al Mumtadz, the best mosque, the best, meaning. Hopefully it will be a noble place which happens to be named after our son's last name, Emmeril Kahn Mumtadz, " said Ridwan Kamil.
