00:30When we look around this mosque area, we will see a reality that cannot be denied.
00:37It is busy, dense, and becomes the center of the economy and livelihood for thousands of Muslims who come from all over the world to trade and work.
00:47However, behind that busyness, there is a basic need that is often neglected.
00:53The mosque.
00:55A place to worship, a place to find peace in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city.
01:00However, all this time, how many people are forced to pray outside, on the side of the road, under the scorching heat and heavy rain.
01:08The question is, until when?
01:10And that is what my late father often asked.
01:13He does not see this problem as something that can be looked at lightly.
01:18For him, this is a responsibility.
01:21It is a duty.
01:22If we are able to help, why don't we do it?
01:26It all started in 2009, when the discussion between the Jakarta and DPKL parties went ahead.
01:33The result?
01:34The official letter was issued on August 6, 2012,
01:38followed by a deposit payment of 10% on August 8, 2012.
01:43Subsequently, in 2014,
01:46the agreement with the DPKL was signed.
01:49And the deposit payment was completed.
01:52This mosque will be built on Munsyi Abdullah Street, near the Jekyll Mall.
01:57It is not to replace the Indian Mosque,
02:01and also not to replace the IPD and Wangi Surau.
02:05But to complete the urgent need.
02:09We have been waiting for 11 years,
02:12and we want to take legal action against our neighbours.
02:18However, the YB, Dr. Zalihar,
02:24said that this will be a big issue for the community.
02:28He advised me and Nizam to meet his Prime Minister,
02:34Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
02:36At that time, I submitted this proposal to the Prime Minister,
02:42and he asked,
02:43has the name of the mosque been decided?
02:45I explained that I and my colleagues have discussed and considered several names,
02:51including Masjid Jekyll,
02:52or the names of the companions of the Prophet SAW,
02:55as a solution.
02:56And the Prime Minister agreed with our proposal.
02:59But when we returned, we discussed,
03:02as a family,
03:04and in the end, we decided to choose the name Masjid Madani.
03:08We consider this name as a form of respect
03:12to the efforts of the government today,
03:14under the leadership of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,
03:19in building a more just society,
03:22and also to unite all of Malacca.
03:26More importantly,
03:27the name Madani was chosen because it represents the deep values of Islam.
03:31Kindness,
03:32respect,
03:33unity,
03:34and unity.
03:35This mosque will stand as a symbol of peace that unites souls and communities.
03:41Today, we are grateful
03:43because we see the first step towards its construction.
03:46However, we also realize that this project is not as easy as we see it.
03:52Without enthusiasm, patience, and consistent leadership.
03:55It is not a secret that this effort has gone through many challenges.
03:59However, today, under the leadership of the Prime Minister,
04:03we see a change.
04:05Not a promise,
04:06but an implementation.
04:07We have been patient for 11 years.
04:09Finally, Alhamdulillah.
04:11You made it.
04:13You are the man.
