I really love to travel and have seen many lovely mosques in the world. I think the one that you are talking about is in Indonesia. I have been to Sumatra and I stayed near a mosque. I could hear the singing from it at dawn before I got out of bed. The most beautiful mosque that I have ever seen was the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem in Israel. Wow! It looked stunning with all its pattern and color. I think much of it is gold as well. How very special it is and it sounds like the Golden Dome Mosque is as well.

maximax8 you are one of fortunate person so you can travel around the world.
it must be fun.
it's actually not a singing what you heard from the mosque. it's called adzan. adzan means call for praying. it reminds moslem five praying time a day.
when you have chance to come back to indonesia do not forget to travel other places. like Bali, lombok even Papua.
this year is the "visit Indonesia year 2008" so i bet there're so many event and promotion to make this program succeed.
welcome to indonesia maximax8!

I've not visit that mosque yet but some people say that golden dome is really big! Especially it is made from 24 carat gold! Actually there are 4 mosques in the world with golden domes + 1 golden dome from holy Islamic building. All of them are grand mosques.
1-Masjid Dian Al-Mahri, Depok, Indonesia.
2-Masjid Bandar Seri Begawan at Brunei.
3-Masjid Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin, Brunei.
4-Masjid Al-Askari in Samarra, Iraq.
5-Golden Dome, Jerusalem.
(1)Masjid Dian Al-Mahri, Depok, Indonesia: The mosque building has 5 domes, the biggest one has 5 domes. The main dome diameter is 20 metre while other 4 domes diameter are 7 metre. The main dome is inspired from the dome of Taj Mahal. Maybe this mosque is the most grandest mosque in Southeast Asia..big giant golden dome!
(2)Masjid Bandar Seri Begawan,Brunei
This mosque has 29 domes with 24 carat gold and it is a part of Sultan Brunei's Palace. The mosque is located at Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital city of Brunei. Royal mosque with royal gold.. :)
(3)Masjid Omar Ali Saifuddin
This shining golden dome mosque is named after 28th Sultan of Brunei. The dome is made from 24 carat gold and can be seen virtually anywhere in Bandar Seri Begawan. It means Bandar Seri Begawan has two mosques with golden domes..wow..really rich country...The cost to build this mosque is USD$ 5,000,000 !! Rich right?!
(4)Masjid Al Askari , Samarra, Iraq
Poor mosque..the unique golden dome was destroyed in a bombing by extremist in 2006. This mosque was built in 944..very old mosque..In April 2009, the golden dome have been restored and the shrine reopened to visitor.

(5)Golden Dome of The Rock, Jerusalem
Just like the name, Golden Dome of the Rock has a big golden dome on top of it. Remember! This is a holy building only! Not a mosque! The great golden dome that crowns the dome of the rock was originally made from gold, but was replaced with copper and then aluminum. The aluminum now is covered with golden leaf, donated from the late Sultan of Jordan..Holy building with golden dome...
Lets visit all of this mosques!

I heard about the Mosque, but never been there. Yes, people said it's beautiful. Actually, I live not too far away from that Mosque, but I am too lazy to go there if I think about the trafic jam.
Mesjid Dian Almahri opens for public every day now since everyday I see lot of people from other cities visit it using the buses. Heem, I can't believe it there is a beautiful mosque at the village town and furnished by gold

yes i know it.
you are actually live in same city, gandul is still in Depok area right?
you should come there and pray.
insya Allah you'll feel the Glory of Allah.
and you can see the high tech of the lightning of the inside the Dome. the colour and the light of the dome will changes depends on the prayer time. duh susah banget neranginnya..
kubahnya berubah warna sesuai waktu sholat.. so kubah tsb akan berwarna terang dengan awan putihnya pada saat siang (zuhur) dan mulai redup pas ashar dan warna merah jingga saat maghrib dan gelap pas malam dan subuh..
keren kan?
