99 Asmaul Husna Mosque Programme aims to restore mosques as centres of civilisation
The 99 Asmaul Husna Mosque Programme, initiated by Masjid Nusantara together with the Cinta Qur’an Foundation, is expected to restore mosques as centres for the development of Muslim civilisation.
“Still in the moment of the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, we remember that when the Prophet migrated from Mecca to Medina, one of the first things he built was a mosque. From that mosque, the development of civilisation was born,” said Cinta Qur’an Foundation director Ivan Sopian in a statement received in Jakarta on Friday.
The 99 Asmaul Husna Mosque Programme, initiated by Masjid Nusantara together with the Cinta Qur’an Foundation, has entered its next phase of construction.
After the first phase began in Aceh with the inauguration of two mosques in July 2026, the second phase of groundbreaking ceremonies is now being carried out in several areas of West Java.
The 99 Asmaul Husna Mosque Programme was first initiated in early 2026 and officially launched on 12 July 2026 during the Amazing Muharram 2026 event in Jakarta.
The first phase of the programme’s construction was carried out in Aceh in July 2026, following the Amazing Muharram event series.
The inauguration of two mosques at once marked the start of the programme’s construction, attended by Masjid Nusantara CEO Pras Purworo and Cinta Qur’an Foundation patron Ustadz Fatih Karim.
Entering the second phase, mosque construction is being carried out at several locations in West Java. The groundbreaking series lasted four days and covered seven mosque and prayer room locations, each bearing a name from the Asmaul Husna.
On Tuesday (25/8), three locations in Bandung Regency marked the starting point of the groundbreaking. The first activity took place at Miftahul Huda Mosque, Kolelega Village, Banjaran District, with the Asmaul Husna name Al-Wahhab.
Next, the groundbreaking was held at Al-Muttaqin Mosque, Padamdidalem Village, Pangalengan District, with the name Al-Baqi. It was then continued at Al-Hidayah Mosque, Lamajang Village, Pangalengan District, with the name An-Nur.
The series continued on Wednesday (26/8) in Garut Regency. The first location was at Al-Hidayah Mosque, Sukalaksana Village, Talegong District, with the name Al-Hadi.
The second location was at Al-Manan Mosque, Babakan Dangur Village, Cimahi Village, Caringin District, with the name Al-Muqtadir.
Then on Thursday (27/8), the groundbreaking was carried out at Jami An-Nur Mosque, Caringin Village, Karang Tengah District, Garut Regency. The mosque bears the Asmaul Husna name Al-Baari.
The second phase series concluded on Friday at Al-Mutoharoh Prayer Room, Giri Karya Hamlet RT 05/RW 02, Langkaplancar Village, Langkaplancar District, Pangandaran Regency. The prayer room bears the name Al-Basith.
Ivan expressed hope that the construction of the 99 Asmaul Husna Mosques would not only deliver physical buildings, but also serve as a means for the community to strengthen religious activities, Qur’anic education and community togetherness.
The estimated construction time for each mosque is around three months. This period could be shorter if the construction process involves mutual cooperation from the local community.
Meanwhile, Masjid Nusantara CEO Pras Purworo invited the public and donors to continue supporting mosque construction through the programme.
