See the beauty of the Baiturrahman Mosque in Banda Aceh.

Aceh is a province located on the tip of Sumatra. Aceh is known as the Veranda of Mecca because Islamic law in Aceh is still very thick. One proof is a mosque that was built since the first era of the kingdom, namely the Baiturrahman Mosque in Banda Aceh, which still stands firmly even though it was once demolished by Dutch colonists. But this mosque is still maintained and has become the most beautiful Aceh icon at the moment.

Aceh does save a lot of history in the past, one of which is this mosque. Not only its beauty but the history in the construction of this mosque, we Acehnese must know it. Because our proclamator Mr. Soeharto once said, do not forget history. At present the Banda Aceh Baiturrahman Mosque has been renovated and designed in a modern style and almost similar to the mosque in Medina, the Nabawi mosque.

And what's even more amazing is that this mosque was never empty of worshipers and visitors who only wanted to visit this largest mosque in Aceh. Even though Aceh was hit by a tsunami but this mosque survived the disaster and very many people survived at that time because it entered the mosque. As we know during the 2004 tsunami. The tsunami water split when passing this mosque and all the people inside the mosque were safe.

This is a miracle that we never expected before. Even non-Muslim people survived because they entered the mosque during the tsunami. Now, the Banda Aceh Baiturrahman mosque has been known to reach the corners of the world because the only mosque designed in a style similar to that of the mosque in Medina is the Nabawi mosque.
