The mosque with the most air circulation walls

Exactly three days ago when my extended family and I went to a relative's house to stay in touch, our family stopped by a mosque located in Bintah Village. This village is still part of the government of East Aceh Regency, as I know the mosque was built 35 years ago, the age of this mosque is almost the same as my age. This mosque is still standing strong today in this village with various changes from the previous development. This mosque is located far from the Medan – Banda Aceh national highway, entering through various villages. Around this mosque there is a large tree so it is very cool if we are around this for shelter. Then behind this location there is a very wide expanse of rice fields. Actually the location of this mosque is not far from my grandmother's house, it's just that we have to step over the river to be here. The river that separates these two different places close to each other is the Jambo Aye river which is part of the North Aceh Regency Government

The shape of the mosque is simple, there is only 1 dome which was built right in the middle of the mosque building itself. This mosque has 1 tower which is right next to the front of the mosque. As for the dome in this mosque, it is pitch black, I saw the shape of the dome of this mosque following the architectural style of the Baiturrahman Mosque in Banda Aceh, which is the proud mosque of the Acehnese people. The shape of the dome is similar to black scales, now the color of the dome which is made of solid black has changed color to brown in part, this is due to the effects of exposure to sunlight. We can also see that the architecture on the walls of the mosque that I visited has a lot of rosters, where the function of the rosters is as air circulation for the convenience of the community in worship. I conclude that the presence of the roster on the walls of this mosque can reach 60% of the total wall of the mosque. In addition to air circulation, the function of the roster is also to beautify the design of the mosque itself, perhaps this is an architectural form that developed in its era. The number of rosters that I counted from the four sides of the mosque was 2,160. I'll break it down as follows: from the east side the number of roster is 624, from the west side the number of roster is 624, from the north side the roster is 416 and the south side is 416.

The color of the whole mosque is beige with light brown stripes and some gold tones. The minaret of this mosque has 5 floors with a height of 20 meters. On the top of the tower there are 8 loudspeakers, on each side there are 2 loudspeakers so that if the call to prayer or announcements of joy and sorrow can be conveyed clearly to the public.

From inside the mosque there is a chandelier that adorns the mosque which is located just below the dome. This decorative lamp has several bulbs with four levels, the lowest level has one largest lamp, the second level has eight neatly arranged light bulbs, the third level has one medium lamp and the last level has five lamps. Then at the front of the mosque there is a place called the "mihrab" for the imam to lead congregational prayers. Then there is the pulpit made of a strong choice of wood for the interior of the mosque, namely teak wood. Above the pulpit is made a dome that is given a golden yellow color. On the pulpit we can also see there is a carving in the form of "Pinto Aceh". Pinto Aceh referred to there is one of the traditional works of art typical of Aceh "Acehan". In this mosque there are also several fan points that are affixed to the walls of the mosque. In front of the mosque there is also a small garden to beautify the charm of the mosque
