Baiturrahim Mosque, Ulee Lheue

You must have listened of of electronic media, print media, someone, or you hear directly from the victims concerned. A great disaster that start of a earthquake 9.2 Scala Richter was followed a huge sea wave has hit Aceh December 2004, forces of the nature that killed 170,000 lives from different territory. Huge waves as high as 9 meters of sea water that hit Aceh also destroyed most of the residents facilities or homes to the ground, it's no wonder that power can even raised a ship weighing 2,600 tons power generation as far as 5 km from the sea to the land.



But still all that happens by the wants of the Almighty, Allah SWT.
If Allah SWT wants its Destroyed .. thats  will destroyed,
if Allah SWT wants its save.... then thats will be save ,

Well, this time I will try to tell you a thing unexpected of human mind above the disaster. Exactly on the 23 April 2013 I had the chance to visit a heritage website of the disaster, a building that still stands firmly even is only tens of meters from the beach. ....


-Baiturrahim Mosque, Ulee Lheue-



Mosque Baiturrahim is a silent witness a miracle of tsunami eight years ago. When the giant waves raging, mosque to with only tens meters from the sea, still standing in Ulee Lheu. While the building around that is flat on the ground. According of survivors, there were three waves of the tsunami hit Baiturrahim Mosque earthquake was a magnitude 9 on the Richter scale. Every wave always broke out when befall the mosque, and then roll crushed buildings around him.

This mosque is in fact not the only building that survivors of the tsunami, there are other buildings, one of which is located in lampu'uk. which is also a white mosque that survived the disaster would malignancy.

But this time I will only discuss about Baiturrahim Ulee Lheu mosque, as chance the recently building that I visited to publish it. The condition of the mosque which was formerly made ​​of brick is broken simply about twenty percent of it, I wonder if this mosque became a symbol of the greatness of the Almighty, and really admire the people of Aceh.

Baiturrahim mosque the historic  of the Sultan of Aceh in the 17th century. The mosque was once called the Jami 'Ulee Lheu  In 1873 when the Dutch burned Baiturrahman mosque. all of people forced to perform Jum'ah  Pray at mosque in Ulee Lheue, since that time renamed the mosque Baiturrahim. The mosque has been several renovations since it was built the first time in the 17th century. Until after the big event in 2004, this mosque get a lot of offers of assistance funds from the outside area, either from the the community or government officials. 


But the help is not immediately accepted by the mosque committee, they reject offers of assistance when the condition is not given suitable with a desire the mosque committee. Like an offer from Al-Imdad NGO from southern Africa and the Sultan of Brunei Darussalam Hasanul Bolkiyah which will give assistance when old buildings its destroyed, whose bid was rejected on the results of the discussions the people with mosque committee. But unlike the Al-Imdad from South Africa which does not appear again up to now, the Sultan of Brunei provide help to build a mosque tower with Rp.3.000.000.000 funds, - (three billion dollars).


And until now the mosque was still standing with a additional tower at his right side , but for convenience this mosque still need some buildings, like the building of teaching to children is often called TPA. Previously said this mosque has 6 rooms to accommodate that learning activities, while for now the activities can only be do at the front of terrace mosque. although there is still a less building, or part of the building is under renovation, the mosque is generally functioning well....

Not because of family matters or any other, but again because of the coursework. Maybe you could say without a college assignment, I would constantly throughout the day lazing at home .. : p


When I entered the main gate is felt atmosphere of the sport side of the road, there is a football training, running, long jump and arrows, began from children to adults participating in sports. they look so serious in practice, probably because either there will be a competence of late, was it always this way or did they look like when training. On the other end of the seen group of people who are photographing famous photographers took pictures like that are competing. They look so enjoy it, does this stadium has a unique shape with various forms of the game field so it is suitable to be used as photo objects. such as triangles, circles, color, and etc..
