----Full Review :----
Many people call this place as Masjid Tiban (Tiban Mosque), but this place is actually an  an Islamic Boarding School (Pondok Pesantren), Full Name of school: Pondok Pesantren Salafiah Bihaaru Bahri Asali Fadlaailir Rahmah. Nick name: Tiban.

The complex of this boarding school is wide (about 4-hectare), and the building its self huge and so beautiful. The total floor of this building reaches 10 floors, and may continue to grow.

The architecture of this boarding school  is very unique, because a mix of middle east, china, and modern architecture. In the outside, there are beautiful blue minarets and domes. Maybe because of this, many people call this place as  Masjid Tiban (Tiban Mosque). This building ornament is indeed super and detailed. Anyone who has done this is great.

There is a rumor about this place that this building was built by supernatural beings, of course it's a hoax :). The architect of this building was KH Achmad Bahru Mafdloludin Sholeh (Founder). Built by the students and people around, since 1978.  This building is still under construction until now.
1. For buildings outside such as towers, domes, etc, most of them are finished.
2. For buildings inside, the lower floor is generally almost finished, but many of the upper floors are still not finished.

This complex have a small masjid (mosque) located a little far from the main building. The small size of the masjid is not comparable to the size of a very grand of main building. The architecture of the masjid is Middle East mosque style, white and simple. But the interior of masjid is very beautiful, colorful doom and room. (Check my photo to see it).

The main lesson for students here is to have great practice of virtue, morality and manners. Amazing curriculum. I met several students here, and they are very nice and kind.

I asked the students about why this boarding school complex built so grand and beautiful? The reason is to spread the world about the beauty of Islam by beautiful art and architecture. Wow! What a noble purpose!
