For the people of Aceh, the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Banda Aceh City, is not just a house of worship. This mosque is a silent witness to the splendor of the Aceh Darussalam Sultanate, the death of the Dutch general, the generosity of the Acehnese people buying planes for Indonesia, the peace of Daud Beureueh (DI / TII), a demonstration asking for an Aceh referendum, the Aceh tsunami, Hasan Tiro's first return to Aceh after GAM, seize sticks of preachers, and ... various other events, including congregational prayers keeping a distance during Covid.
