This is the Masjid "Agung" Demak or Grand Mosque built by the famous " Wali Songo", Java. It symbolize peace, love and tolerance. I was there to witness this monument of faith and a beauty of humanity that makes your heart in the state of tranquility each time urs eye gaze its minaret.The reason why you will feel so ease when you are this mosque is because of those who had build this mosque believe in love and faith and the effect of the baraqa remain till today. There are thousand stories untold on the history of this mosque.However, as modern life took control, we find it difficult to believe and understand behind each wisdom and stories that happened within this mosque.The only thing we learnt from this mosque is the importance of love within society which is building the solidarity on humanity.
Unlike today, Islam is in the hands of extremism which dehumanize millions of lives. Let us study and visit the history of those whom have embarked on the journey to God. They sacrificed their lives for us. Through them, millions embrace Islam without a single bloodshed. Have we ever wonder how we lost the value and secret of love? Today this mosque remain as a form of history to most of us but nevertheless remind ourselves each time when we hear a news of muslim extremism, take a look at the picture of this mosque and ask ourselves did these Walis did the same thing? No, they didnt. They were the inheritance of our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. so they spread love not hatred, giving flowers not sword.
