Masjid Baru UTM Jalan Semarak

You must have thought 'OMG, this guy is posting something about a mosque?'
You must be kinda shocked to read the title of the post right?

Haha, well, since it's the start of the holy month of Ramadhan, why not post something
good and beneficial huh?

If you live or happen to pass by Jalan Semarak, or near UTM, or the Dewan Perdana Felda, chances are you would have seen the construction of this mosque for the past few months(year?) or so.
This magnificent mosque, which i don't know the name yet is just opened a few days ago,
and it is built to replace the old wooden mosque in UTM.

It looks exactly like the blueprint, or whatever you call it

Basically, this mosque is bigger, more comfortable, air-conditioned, and of course more spacious.
Actually, the mosque is scheduled to be opened in a few months time, but since Ramadhan came early(!),
i guess the management decided to open it to public much earlier.

There's still parts of it that are yet to be completed. The parking lot is not really completed yet, the women's area is not equipped with air-condition yet, and even the big mighty chandelier is not set up yet.
But hey, that doesn't really matter, right.
What matters is that people can come and pray there already.

At night, the mosque is beautifully lit up. It is scheduled to be launched by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong this 20th of August, if i'm not mistaken.
Since it's the first night of terawih, ahem, i went there with my dad and my sister.
It's just a 5-minute walk  from my house.

Unfortunately, i forgot to bring my handphone to snap a pic. I'll try to get it the next time around.
A lot needs to be done and improved, but i think that the mosque is a great and welcome addition/upgrade to the neighbourhood.

I even met an old friend there. Brings back childhood memories when i used to go to the surau with friends. haha
The mosque is of course open to donations in the form of sejadahs, Al-Qurans, mats and anything related.
So, if you feel like doing a good deed during this holy month, feel free to sedekah.

Hope to see you there (cewahh).
