An Acehnese Mosque located in the center of Georgetown, Penang Island, was very heart-touching place to visit. It made me proud to be an Acehnese generation. The mosque was built by Tunku Syed Hussein Al-Idid, a politically influential Acehnese kingdom prince and rich merchant, in 1808 after his arrival in 1792. The Masjid Jamiek built with Moorish style (combinations between Indian, Egyptian, and Chinese styles) and roofed with Meru, not with a half square dome in usual. In the mosque’s yard, noble dead bodies of him and his family were buried.

Now, the mosque is
frequently visited by travelers from Aceh and foreign visitors. For the Acehnese
people, this mosque was the evidence that Acehnese was a nation who was fond of
donating their properties such as lands, jewelries, and other valuable wealth. The
action done because we believe that there will be a good reward for moral
conduct from Allah which are never reduced but increased if they are beneficial
for human affairs. May Allah’s blessing and forgiveness are always given to
Muttaqin and Mu’minin, Ameen.
