^{Sabilillah Umah Opat Mosque}

I will try to review a place of worship called Sabilillah Umah Opat Mosque, which is one of the largest mosques in Takengon city. The mosque is located in the center of the city beside the two-lane crossroad of Takengon city. The mosque has one large gold dome and the height of the mosque is very high and majestic. The color of the mosque has not been completely painted, it still looks like the natural color of cement plaster. This mosque has many visitors who pray and worship because of its strategic location and large parking lot.

^Entrance

The entrance of the mosque is a striped hole, where the center of the mosque can be shifted right and left. The small sliding door is black and the fixed door is white. When you want to enter the mosque above the door, there is a mosque entry prayer and footwear to wipe the feet of visitors who enter the mosque.

^{Inside View}

The inside of the mosque is spacious, white with lights and tall pillars to reinforce the mosque. The dome is painted sky blue according to the motif drawn inside the dome.

^{Mosque Imam Room}

The imam's room consists of prayer mats, a microphone and a pulpit. In addition, there is also an imam's robe and lighting so that the room becomes bright. The imam will also feel comfortable while praying.

^Speaker

The loudspeakers in this mosque have two black and white speakers. The speakers are placed in every corner of the mosque so that the sound of the call to prayer and lectures can be heard clearly by the congregation. The black speaker is larger than the white speaker which is smaller.

^{Spare Prayer Mat}

The Sabilillah Umah Opat mosque also provides a large number of spare prayer mats. This prayer mat is rolled up and placed at the back of the mosque. Usually this mat will be spread out if there are many worshipers present at the mosque.

^{Prayer Barrier}

Sometimes the congregation does not all pray in congregation, occasionally they will pray alone. So when praying alone, there will be a prayer barrier so that when other people pass by, they do not pass by the congregation who are praying and make the sin of passing in front of the praying person. There are many prayer barriers and they are made of wood carved in the shape of a mosque dome.

^{Wall Clock}

The wall clock is located on the front wall facing the congregation. The wall clock serves for worshipers who pray will know the latest time. There are two wall clocks, one is placed at the front facing the Qibla, the other is placed above the entrance to the mosque.

^{Book Cupboard}

The Quran and other books are stored in the cupboard. If there are worshipers who want to read the Koran, just open the cupboard. The worshipers will also feel comfortable and happy if there is something they are looking for or doubt in carrying out worship, they can directly open the cupboard which contains books about the rules of worship.

^{Prayer mat}

A large, heart-red prayer mat covers part of the floor of the mosque. The worshippers will feel comfortable when prostrating themselves not directly on the tiled floor and feel pain. The foam on the prayer mat is very soft on the forehead when touching the floor.

^{Mosque pulpit}

The pulpit of the mosque is of normal size, made of carved wood that is beautiful to the eye. The pulpit does not have many stairs so that the preacher who wants to fill the tausiah or lecture does not need to spend energy in stepping on the stairs to get to the top. Usually this pulpit is used during Friday prayer lectures and Eid al-Fitr.

^Lights

The lamps are norm-sized and round in shape and have a large number. The bulbs are hung with chains from the top to the middle, so the light bulbs are also still maximally illuminating the worshipers who are praying at night.

^{Praying with Children}

My child and I performed the zuhur prayer at the Sabilillah Umah Opat Mosque. My child plays and runs around the mosque while I pray directly. Praying here is very comfortable, cool and calm.

^{Muezzin Equipment}

The mosque also provides facilities for the muezzin in the form of azan robes and microphones. The muezzin is in charge of announcing the call to prayer every time prayer time arrives.

^{Donation Box}

The donation box in this mosque is square and placed in the shaf section of the mosque. Every time the congregation finishes praying, the donation box is circulated from one end to the other. This donation box is useful if there are worshipers who want to donate a little money for the benefit of others in need. Donation boxes are also placed near the exit, in case the congregation forgets to make a donation when they finish praying, they can still make a donation at the mosque door.

^{Outside Donation Box}

On the outside of the mosque, more precisely the mosque terrace, a charity or donation box is also provided. This box is shaped like a white tube made of iron. This box is placed on the wall of the mosque and the outside is locked with a padlock, so that security for this box is better maintained because it is very vulnerable to theft.

^{Water Dispenser}

The Sabilillah Umah Opat mosque facility also provides a mineral water dispenser. This dispenser can be used for worshipers to drink when they are thirsty. Drinks in the mosque are free without having to spend money to drink them.

^{Mukena for women}

The mukena rack is located at the back right at the place where women pray. This mukena rack has many mukenas hanging, the aim is that female visitors who want to pray but do not bring their own mukena, can use the mukena provided by the mosque.

^{Notice Sign}

The mosque also has a notice prohibiting the temporary disabling of cell phones in the mosque. This is so as not to disturb the sanctity of individuals and others while worshiping at the mosque. The notice sign is large and square in shape. The writing is black and the back screen is white, so new worshipers who enter will be read clearly.

^{Place of Prayer for Women}

For women, there is a special prayer space. There is a green curtain that covers it completely. So when women open the mukena and hijab when they finish praying, they will not be seen by men who are not muhrim.

^{Information Board}

The information board is located on the outside of the mosque. The information board provides various types of important information such as charity savings results and preachers on duty on holidays. Worshipers will find it easy to read the information before entering the mosque.

^{Mosque Terrace Section}

The Sabilillah Umah Opat mosque also has a terrace, worshipers who are full inside cannot perform worship, they can also do it on the terrace. In addition, worshipers can also sit on the terrace enjoying the cool air while discussing with friends.

^{Ablution Place}

The ablution place of this mosque consists of two, namely male ablution and female ablution. The male and female ablutions are in separate places. The inside of the ablution place is clean and fragrant. The water taps release water that is fast and cold.

^Toilet

In addition to male and female ablutions, the mosque also provides toilets at the back. The toilet is next to the ablution place. If there are people who want to defecate and urinate, they can directly use this toilet. In front of the toilet there is a donation box for charity for officers who clean the toilet.

^{Parking Area}

The parking area of the Sabilillah Umah Opat mosque is very large. It can accommodate many 4-wheeled vehicles or more. The parking area is powdered with gravel so that when it rains it doesn't get muddy and dirty the car. Visitors also feel comfortable when getting off the vehicle. When you want to enter and exit the mosque yard it is also very easy and free of parking fees.
