If there is a place that you must visit when you visit Banda Aceh, it is the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque. This is a historical site that has existed since the glorious era of the Aceh Sultanate and has survived to this day. This mosque has gone through various things, starting from the burning tragedy by the Dutch colonial in 1873 to the tsunami hit in late 2004. Baiturrahman Grand Mosque was first built in the era of the Aceh Sultanate. The roof of the mosque was made in accordance with the characteristics of mosques in Indonesia at that time, a four-tiered pyramid roof. There are two historical versions of the history of the construction of this mosque. Some sources say this mosque was founded in 1292 AD by Sultan Alauddin Johan Mahmudsyah. Meanwhile, another source said the mosque was founded by Sultan Iskandar Muda in 1612 AD In its journey, this mosque was burned down by the Dutch during an attack on Koetaradja (Banda Aceh) on April 10, 1873. The collapse of the mosque building triggered an outbreak of resistance from the Acehnese people. They struggle to defend the mosque until the blood is gone. During the battle, the Dutch lost their commander, Major General Johan Harmen Rudolf Köhler on April 14, 1873. The mosque building was rebuilt by the Dutch at the behest of General Van Der Heijden. The rebuilding of the mosque was part of an effort to ease the resistance of the Acehnese towards the Dutch occupation. The process of rebuilding Majid Raya Baiturrahman took place in 1879-1881 AD The new building architecture was created by de Bruchi who adapted the Moghul (Indian) style.

After so many years, which we failed to enter the Mosque, but this day.... we finally get in and have the great opportunity to explore this beautiful and the biggest mosque in Banda Aceh. Even though some part of it is still under renovation, the magnificence of the building and the structure is still astonishing. A feeling also came to me when I just entered the Mosque and stay in its inside, people of Muslim religion, I think this is the most comfortable place they would stay. I could see people playing, praying, resting, laying on the marble ground. I first experienced the Muslim culture when I visited Turkey like decades ago and now the Muslim culture is more layman, and close to people's every day life. It's not far, but just within the every day life of working. I hope the renovation could finish as soon as possible, and my next best wishes would be seeing all the amazing umbrellas open, blossom, all open for one time.

The mosque had some great history, such as about the kingdom, tsunami, and etc. The mosque was one of the best mosque in Aceh. It had great design in and out door. And if you wanna get parking, there's any parking area bottom of this mosque. You would not worry about the toilet, there's any bottom of mosque area also. But If you wanna come to this mosque. Make sure that you wear the polite clothes. For example, woman wear the long skirt, long shirt and t shirt and veil. You can't enter to this mosque if you are not wearing that kind of the clothes. For man, make sure you wear long trousers. And, if you get adzan , you can't stay around the mosque, you must pray and for the girls who can't pray because the reason. You must stay bottom of this mosque. You can't go out before the praying finished. So, that's rule for keep the mosque pure as the place for praying, not just for destination.

Baiturrahman, Historical mosque. The biggest-the famous-the wonderful mosque in Aceh. It has been transformed and adapted time to time. Visitors coming outer Aceh will feel not complete to visit Aceh before taking photos in Baiturrahman Mosque. Even there are many photographers will help you taking the moments. In Ramadan there many activities held in Mosque. Many moslems participate in the activities example i'tiqaf and other activities. I try hard to be here every year with my family to be involved in activities too. When tsunami happened this mosque was saved and become protector or shelter to many peoples in meanwhile building around were damaged and only some were saved. Become an icon of Banda Aceh city, this mosque ia managed well by government together with all Aceh moslems. May Allah protect this mosque and this beloved city.
