Throughout the year, mosques and various venues in Indonesia host programs dedicated to remembering and sending blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

In this context, the sound of discussions and salawat often fills neighborhood mosques.

Sometimes, large and central mosques or open spaces with stages are used for these events, while at other times, programs with hundreds of thousands of participants are held in stadiums.

These remembrance and salawat gatherings are typically organized after Maghrib or Isha prayers, allowing those returning from work to participate.

Scholars from various countries who attend these programs emphasize the immense love and affection Indonesians have for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). They highlight how this devotion is evident in the massive crowds filling mosques and overflowing into public squares.

This love and attachment to the Prophet (PBUH) play a significant role in the spread of Islam and the guidance of society in Indonesia.

The graves of sufi masters who contributed greatly to the spread of Islam in Indonesia are among the revered and frequently visited sites by Muslims in the country.

With approximately 800,000 mosques, Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest number of mosques. For Indonesian Muslims, mosques are also at the center of social life.

Beyond worship, mosques serve as hubs for education, socialization, and mutual support, bustling with activity at all times.

Prayers, salawat, dhikr, and various programs reflecting the love for Allah (SWT) and His Messenger (PBUH) are held both in these mosques and in large open spaces with broad participation at different times.
