The Roof of The Great Mosque of Demak

The eldest mosque located in Pulau Jawa and built by Wali Sembilan or Wali Songo. The roof of this building has three part that represent something on Islamic believes. My lecturer has gave me an assignment that required me to find the meanings of the design of the roof. First I thought the design of the roof was just for the air ventilation and after hours of searching on the internet, I found a blog that told every single things about The Great Mosque of Demak.

The Blogs

From what I have read, the roof composed by three layer is because it represent the Aqidah Islamiah that consists of three parts :-

1. Islam
2. Iman

3. Ihsan

Me, Myself & I.

Name : Mohd Haniff Haizan Bin Suliman
P.O.B : HUKL , Petaling Jaya.
D.O.B :4 OCT 1991
Education : SRK Jalan Kuantan (1) (UPSR)
                  SMK Bukit Jalil (PMR)
                  SMT Seri Manjung (SPM)

The History : Dilahirkan oleh Zaleha Bt Mat Isa hasil perkahwinan beliau dengan Suliman Bin P.K.S Hamed.
                     Memulakan kehidupan di rumah setinggan yg sederhana yang agak daif dan sempat hidup
                     bersama dengan adik yang kedua sebelum berpindah ke rumah pangsapuri yang agak popular                            di Kuala Lumpur iaitu Flat Pekeliling yang tidak lagi wujud pada ketika ini.                                                       Kehidupan diteruskan di situ dengan keadaan yang agak tidak selesa dgn kegiatan jenayah yang kerap berlaku di situ dan pengaruh rakan sebaya yang negatif. Selepas berpindah ke Bukit Jalil pada umur 13,  kehidupan banyak berubah kerana keadaan yang lebih baik dan persekitaran yang harmoni kerana rakan-rakan yang berbilang kaum. Selepas 3 tahun menetap di situ, persekolahan di asrama sekolah teknik mula merosakan kembali kehidupan apabila terpaksa berkawan dengan mereka yang bersifat perkauman dan mereka yang digelar Mat Rempit. Namun di setiap kejadian ada hikmahnya. Pembelajaran di sekolah teknik yang terletak di Seri Manjung itu membaiki segala kelemahan dan telah mencungkil minat aku terhadap kejuruteraan. Setelah berjaya dalam pembelajaran dalam bidang kejuruteraan Elektrik Dan Elektronik, bidang seni bina mengambil alih minat. Walaupun permulaan untuk belajar dalam bidang ini amat sukar dengan tradisi kolot para senior AP213 yang bernama MURSHIT terutamanya. Kejayaan dalam mengharungi kebodohan segelintir senior itu dapat memupuk minat dalam bidang seni bina yang sedang dijalani ketika ini dan sejarah kehidupan kini masih dalam pembikinan.
