Nurul Amin Mosque Pagaruyung is actually quite magnificent, it's just been in need of repair and maintenance in many
places. Could be considered to add ornaments in the inside of
the mosque is still very quiet.

form, but at least it needs to be maintained, cared for properly, and can be an inspiration. Grandeur mosques and places of worship in general, should exist on how they are used as places of worship and seat of religious sciences that his followers could be more virtuous.
