Hello @Angga_Alfiansah ,
Welcome to Connect!
Thank you for sharing this photo with us. In Arabic, istiqlal means independence. Does this mosque have a special history for naming it like this?

Istiqlal Mosque (literal meaning: Masjid Merdeka) is the national mosque of the Republic of Indonesia which is located in the former Wilhelmina Park, in the Northeast Medan Merdeka Square in the middle of which stands the National Monument (Monas), in the center of the capital Jakarta. Across the East this mosque stands the Jakarta Cathedral Church. The high priest is Prof. Dr. Nasaruddin Umar, M.A. and the Chairperson of the Executing Agency of the Istiqlal Mosque is Laksma (Ret.) H. Asep Saefuddin.
After the war of Indonesian independence, big ideas began to develop to establish a national mosque. The idea of building a mosque was sparked after four years of the proclamation of independence. The idea of building a state mosque is in line with the traditions of the Indonesian people which since the days of ancient kingdoms have built monumental religious buildings that symbolize the country’s glory. For example, in the days of the Hindu-Buddhist empire, the Indonesian people had succeeded in building the Borobudur and Prambanan temples. That’s why at the time of Indonesia’s independence the idea was to build a magnificent grand mosque and deserved the title as the country’s largest Muslim mosque in the world.
