The South Sumatra Police Chief, through Commander Wish, constantly strives to prosper the mosque with activities such as: • Congregational prayer on time • Khotmil Al-Quran and Recitation of members • Marawis and Hadro activities • And Mother's Study. Efforts to prosper the mosque seem to be supported by many parties, starting from the Ulama, the Pakri complex community and the wider community as well as the South Sumatra Police personnel themselves because these activities can indirectly be an opportunity to seek rewards and stay in touch with Muslims from various circles. With the construction of the Al-Aman Pakri Mosque, it is hoped that it will be more beneficial for the community, not just a place of worship and monumental. However, it can also have significant meaning in the hearts of every community that visits and worships at this Al-Aman Mosque. (fa/bq/hy)
