JAKARTA - The Bogor Regency Government (Pemkab), West Java, has successfully completed the construction of the Grand Mosque in the Pakansari Stadium area, Cibinong, which was named the Nurul Wathon Mosque, in less than a year, namely eight months.
Bogor Regent, Rudy Susmanto, said when reviewing the completion of the mosque's work which was built on land with an area of around 2 hectares that the main building of the mosque was now 99 percent complete.
"The construction of this Grand Mosque, if we look at it logically, is actually not a light job. The implementation of the construction only started around the middle of the year, around July to December, approximately eight months," said Rudy on Thursday, December 25, 2025, as reported by Antara.
Although there is still work to be done on the courtyard, the Nurul Wathon Mosque is functional starting Friday, December 26, 2025, starting with the implementation of the morning prayer congregation which will be attended by Regent Rudy and the Bogor Regency Government.
Bupati Rudy mengajak seluruh aparatur sipil negara (ASN) dan stakeholder untuk urun rembuk merapikan bagian-bagian yang membutuhkan sentuhan akhir.
"The provider has submitted a request for an additional one to two days. However, we say, there is no need to wait for perfection, we just use it together. For me, this is a momentum to close the year 2025 together," he said.
Masjid Nurul Wathon will also start holding the first Friday prayers, which will then be used as a place for year-end prayers by the Bogor Regency Government after the afternoon prayers.
The joint prayer activity which featured speaker Miftah Maulana or Gus Miftah will be an event for reflection for the Regent and Deputy Regent of Bogor Rudy Susmanto-Jaro Ade who have led the Bogor Regency for 10 months.
The Nurul Warhon Mosque was built on an area of 2.6 hectares with a budget of Rp. 112 billion sourced from the Bogor Regency APBD for the 2025 Fiscal Year.
The design of the mosque highlights various supporting facilities, including a 96-meter-high tower of tauhid which also serves as a viewing tower, as well as a reflection pool that creates a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere for worshipers.
The main room of the mosque has a size of 44 x 57.2 meters with an area of 4,707 square meters and consists of two floors. An 8-meter-wide pedestrian lane is provided around the mosque for the convenience of visitors.
To complete the religious facilities at the mosque, Regent Rudy brought pieces of the kiswah or Ka'bah cover cloth from Mecca. In addition to the kiswah, a number of other ornaments such as the former Ka'bah door and Al Mizab or Ka'bah water gutter were installed in the mosque area, including on the Ka'bah miniature which was built for the purpose of the hajj pilgrimage.
