HISTORY OF TANJUNGPINANG GRAND

MOSQUE
Tanjungpinang population in times of rebellion after Arong
Balewa, 1830, was increasingly crowded. Especially the
Chinese and Indians. This is due to the agreement between
Sultan Riau and the Netherlands through the 1857 Political
Contract suggest that ethnicity China and India is equated
with the Europeans, they became residents of the Dutch
government and not the kingdom of Riau residents .
One source noted that the population of Chinese in
Tanjungpinang when it is 58.86% of the total Chinese
population in the cities throughout Indonesia. The Chinese
still headed by a captain, while the Indians because fewer
in number, led by a lieutenant.

Indians are mostly coming from Singapore and

generally be a trader. They are a group of Moslem
society. They build a variety of places of worship,
such as mosques. One of the famous and biggest
mosque built by the inhabitants of the Keling ethnic
in Tanjungpinang at that time is "Keling Mosque".
Keling Mosque was later located at Jl. Masjid famous
now.
Keling Mosque historic then renovated to be
bigger and named Masjid Al-Hikmah. The mosque
that you see right now, has been far different from
the previous Keling Mosque. Unfortunately, some
have not obtained a record year building
renovation Keling Mosque and later became the
Masjid Al-Hikmah.

Mentioned several sources, the original building of the

mosque in such a stage that extends to the rear. Then in
1956 the mosque was renovated again. At that time,
Kakandepag Kabupaten Daerah TK.II Kepulauan Riau,
Datuk Green Mountain. As development practitioners of
the mosque is H. Abubakar Ali and builders who came from
Singapore. At the time of the old building, the Mosque was
surrounded by tombs.
Then when the rebuilding of the mosque, the tomb
cemetery was moved to Taman Bahagia. Regent at that time
was Rakanadalian. His first idea was to collect old bottles by
the whole society of Riau Islands to be sold to Singapore
which is a self-help from the public to finance additional
construction of the mosque. Then the four pillars of the
mosque wass the contribution of SGB and SGA students
that was taken from their bond money for one month while
the price of a single pole at that time was 300 dollars. At
that time, Rakanadalian Regents also adopted a policy to
build the SGA Hall, SMP Daik, SMP Pulau Tujuh, and housing
teachers at Jl.Riau.
