He was a khadam or guardian of the Mosque who cleaned the mosque, mopping, sweeping was his daily job. The old grandfather nicknamed Kake Khadam is from the east, namely Aceh Tamiang. He claimed that he had been guarding the Baiturrahman Mosque in Banda Aceh for seventeen years.
After Aceh was hit by the tsunami, after the incident Khadam's grandfather began traveling to Aceh Airport. He left his homeland in Aceh Tamiang, but that had become a determination for him. Currently Grandpa Khadam is very old, but he claims to have represented his age to care for the pride mosque of Acehnese people, so he said on the sidelines of his busy life.
That morning the sun came out on the eastern horizon, standing directly above Grandpa Khadam's head. I didn't waste any time, I immortalized Khadam's grandfather's routine on that sunny morning. Grandpa Khadam also seemed happy to welcome me. He gladly answered the questions I asked him.
That morning I said goodbye from my visit to Baiturrahman Banda Aceh Mosque, the Mosque that became an icon of mecca's portico. To Grandpa Khadam I also asked to say goodbye and say a lot of thanks.
So long ago my story today. If you want to visit Baiturrahman Mosque Banda Aceh you will be welcomed kindly by a good Grandpa Khadam. May Khadam's grandfather live a long life and be able to welcome many more guests who will ask him.
