JAKARTA - The Nusantara Mosque Foundation has reaffirmed its commitment to providing decent houses of worship in remote areas of the country. Through the launch of the Nusantara Mosque Tour (JMN) Season 7 program held in Jakarta, Wednesday (11/2), this institution invites various parties to strengthen synergy in building mosques in the Remote, Frontier, and Outer (3T) regions.
This step has the full support of the government. Minister of Villages and Regional Development, Yandri Susanto, who was present at the ceremony, expressed his readiness to collaborate strategically. He emphasized that the role of mosques in rural areas must be returned as a center of civilization.
"This collaboration must be comprehensive. Not only building the physical, but how to activate the function of the mosque so that the life of the village community can rise again, as is the function of the mosque in the time of the Prophet," he said.
Beyond Physical Development
CEO of the Nusantara Mosque, Pras Purworo, explained the achievements that his organization had achieved. Until now, the institution has contributed to building mosques in 23% of the total 63 districts of the 3T category. However, he emphasized that the journey is still long.
"Our target in the future is to reach all 3T districts. Our focus is not only building the building, but also building the spirit and spirit of the congregation there," explained Pras.
In line with this, Adhin Abdul Hakim as the host of the JMN program highlighted the complexity of challenges in remote areas. According to the figure who is familiarly called Adhin, cross-sector collaboration is the main key to realizing social justice for all Indonesian people, especially those who live in areas with limited access.
Synergy of Partners
The sustainability of this program is inseparable from the support of donors and philanthropic partners. One of the main supporters, BSI Maslahat, expressed satisfaction with the transparency and tangible impact of this cooperation. The zakat institution targets at least the construction of three new mosques by 2026 as part of the ongoing collaboration process.
The inauguration event was also closed with a deep reflection from the mosque's driving figure, Ustadz Kusnadi Ikhwani. He reminded that presenting a mosque in a difficult to reach place is an effort to create a space that God loves and at the same time a solution to the problems of the community.
As a symbol of the start of this seventh season journey, stakeholders carried out a symbolic stone beating procession. The JMN Season 7 program itself is planned to accompany the community through the national glass screen during the upcoming holy month of Ramadan.
