Unclaimed

very beautiful mosque, great architecture yet functional in space. Ornamen details is just balance and nice, mostly white marble colour, ambience is peaceful, clean and neat. I can feel the quality of space and finishes. Interior has a high ceiling height with good cross ventilation. No air cond but the ventilation is adequate. functional side thay have adequate ablution area, seated style "wudhu" and accessibility there is elevator (lift) all theway from ground to pray area. I went here for my sister's wedding, the "Akad" is held inside the mosque. very helpful marbot during the event. there is space provided for changing room and area for gathering in ground floor. thank you for having us here. Jazzakumullah khairan katsiran

first time visiting this mosque to attend a friend's wedding. it has distinctive architecture. this mosque is often used as an intimate wedding venue. it has clean environment and aesthetic view. but limited parking lot.

Next to the Waduk Sunter Selatan reservoir is Ramlie Musofa Mosque, which had a Taj Mahal inspired design. It opened in 2016 and was founded by Haji Ramli Rasidin, a Chinese convert, initially as a family only mosque, but it is now open to the public.

The ambience of this mosque is so peaceful, the full-white concept make this mosque even more beautiful. I will recommend this for your akad venue? But the parking area is not large enough for cars

I had the pleasure of visiting Ramlie Musofa Mosque during Jum'at Prayer , and I can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I experienced in the city. Tucked away in the Sunter area of North Jakarta, this mosque is not only a place of worship, but also a cultural landmark with breathtaking architecture, serene interiors, and deep spiritual energy. From the outside, the mosque immediately reminded me of the Taj Mahal, with its pristine white façade, symmetrical design, and majestic dome. It’s no surprise that some locals refer to it as “Jakarta’s Taj Mahal.” But as impressive as the exterior is, it’s really the inside of the mosque that took my breath away. As soon as I stepped in, I felt a sense of calm and comfort. The interior is spacious and grand without feeling overwhelming. Tall columns and arches frame the prayer hall, while soft green carpets cover the floor, creating a welcoming and tranquil atmosphere. The lighting is gentle and warm, which adds to the peaceful vibe of the space. Even though I am not Muslim, I was welcomed respectfully and was allowed to observe quietly, which I deeply appreciated. The mosque is also incredibly clean and well-maintained. Every surface, from the floor to the decorative walls, was spotless. The wudhu (ablution) facilities were modern, hygienic, and easy to access. You can tell that the management and caretakers of the mosque take great pride in keeping the place in top condition. It felt like a true sanctuary in the middle of a bustling city. What really fascinated me were the ornamental and cultural elements within the mosque. The walls are beautifully inscribed with verses and phrases not only in Arabic, but also in Mandarin Chinese and Bahasa Indonesia. It reflects the heritage and vision of the founder, and the inclusivity of the mosque’s message. The blend of Islamic, Chinese, and local Indonesian aesthetics is done in such a harmonious and thoughtful way. The carvings, calligraphy, and intricate designs throughout the mosque show a remarkable attention to detail. The mihrab (the niche that indicates the direction of Mecca) is particularly striking, with its ornate carvings and spiritual presence. If you're a cultural traveler, an architecture enthusiast, or simply looking for a quiet and reflective space away from Jakarta’s busy streets, I cannot recommend Ramlie Musofa Mosque enough. It’s not a typical tourist attraction, which makes the visit even more special. I felt both inspired and grounded after my time there. This mosque deserves more attention as a cultural destination in Jakarta. I’d definitely return again — and I encourage anyone traveling through the city to spend some time there. It’s a beautiful experience, inside and out. Visited: May 2025 Rating: 5 out of 5
