Indonesia’s West Java Governor Pledges Raising Funds for Mosque in Palestine
The fundraising, planned to start by the end of January 2019, will take place in conjunction with the launch of the mosque design, West Java Provincial Governor Ridwan Kamil said Monday after meeting with a Palestinian official in Bandung, West Java.
"The (Palestinian) people are currently unable to perform their worship in (mosque) and hold Friday prayers. I agreed to meet their request. When it comes to dealing with the mosque, I certainly will help, and we would design (the mosque)," the governor said, Antara News reported.
The governor also requested the provincial community to help in building a mosque.
In 2014, the "Syeikh Ajlin" mosque in the Gaza Strip was bombarded by Israel. The mosque has not been rebuilt yet, making it difficult for local residents to perform their worship.
"I knock on the hearts of West Javanese Muslims, in particular, or Indonesian people (in general), so that we can hopefully present the Ukhuwah Islamiyah (Muslims brotherhood) in Gaza in the near future," he disclosed.
