JAKARTA - This is the Jami Al Atiq Mosque, which is located on Jalan Masjid I Kampung Melayu Besar, South Jakarta. This mosque is a relic of Maulana Hasanuddin, the first Sultan of Banten whose center of government was in the Old Banten area. This mosque was built in the 16th century to be precise in 1632. At the beginning of its establishment this mosque was named the Kampung Melayu Jami Mosque. This mosque was built as a place of worship as well as a place to hide in the morning for fugitives or fugitives from the Dutch colonialism era. This mosque has undergone many renovations. The remains of the mosque building can be seen from the calligraphy written on the glass mounted above the pulpit or the place of the imam. In addition, the four pillars in the middle of the mosque are still the original pillars at the beginning of construction which are now covered with new material. And there is also a stick for Friday sermons that are still at the Jami Al Atiq Mosque. Watch the video below.
