This musola is located in Blok M, a place that is very hyped nowadays (google it). I hope its popularity makes this musola get crowded too. Amen.

Just a father and a son.

As far as I can observe, many mosques, especially in West Java's mountain areas, always have a small pond right before the entrance. There are even some mosques that are designed with ponds surrounding the whole building.

This mosque was built in 1918.

If it wasn't for my dad, I wouldn't have known that there's such a big and beautiful mosque near our house. Btw, I miss you, dad.

Don't stop praying. Just don't.

Don't hesitate to ask. For forgiveness. For a better life. For a place in heaven. Because He will grant it.

<![CDATA[Will 2026 be tough?]]>Wed, 31 Dec 2025 16:36:50 GMThttp://nurismarsyah.com/journal/will-2026-be-toughIt’s already 11:38 PM as I write this, which means there are only 22 minutes left of 2025. Many things have happened. Some of them were good, and some were bad as well. But the good thing is I'm (we, if you happen to read this) still alive and well. 

But, again, I need to put it here: List new missions I hope I can accomplis by the end of 2026. Even though I don't know whether 2026 will be tough or easy for me (Bismillah...). 
I won’t go into too much detail—it would take too long—but the point is, I believe these six missions will lead me to a better life in 2026 (Even there are still many previous missions that aren't done yet.).

​Enjoy 2026!

One of the best mosque you can visit in South Jakarta. 
Whenever you're on a trip from Jakarta to Cilegon, you can pray here.
This mosque has the greatest view of the Indian Ocean. So you will be reminded how small and weak we are as mortal creatures. 
Even though it's a mosque, I don't know why the vibe feels so gothic. Imho. Btw, this one was built in 1596.
"And worship your Lord until what is certain comes to you (death​)."  Al-Hijr: 99
And, precisely, this angle was taken right after we performed a Salat Al-Janazah (Funeral Prayer) for my friend. Hope she rests in peace.
The mosque also has a role in supporting the local economic cycles.
