PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - Baitul Huda Mosque on Jalan Terusan Jakarta No. 138, Antapani Tengah, Bandung City has successfully prospered the mosque by attracting many congregants through its various excellent programs.

The most popular program that makes the congregation often come is the free lunch. This program is the main program to attract the congregation to be consistent in coming to the Baitul Huda Mosque.

"This food program is an entry point, trigger or bait so that the congregation comes here so that they can worship Allah on time and in congregation," said the Head of the Baitul Huda Mosque, Asep Hidayat, Thursday (6/2/2025).

The dining program runs every Monday–Saturday, except on national holidays. There are two versions: eating boxed rice every day, and a special buffet every Wednesday and Saturday. On Saturdays, the buffet concept is carried out by bringing in local traders.

Starting in June 2024, the meal program started by distributing only 40 portions per day. Now, Baitul Huda Mosque distributes up to 350 portions per day and 800 portions on Fridays.

In order to provide the best service for the congregation, a varied menu is served every day. Namely processed chicken rice with other side dishes are sure to meet the nutritional needs of the congregation who come.

This mosque also organizes food distribution during the month of Ramadan. The plan is that the food will be distributed to 10 large mosques in Bandung City with a total of 1000 boxes per day. The goal is for Muslims to get free food when breaking the fast.

In addition to the free meal program, this place of worship also provides several flagship programs such as the Jumat Kasep program, a free haircut program for men. The haircut is also a collaboration with Heavenly Men and Woman salon so the barbers provided are professional barbers.

After performing Friday prayers, this mosque also implemented the Protein Donation Movement program, namely distributing eggs and rice to three Islamic boarding schools for memorizing the Quran.

For the congregation who want to learn to improve or smooth the reading of the Quran, they can join the Tahsin Quran program on Saturdays at 09.00 - 11.00 WIB. This activity includes learning tajwid (Rules for reading the Quran), makhroj (where the letters come out), and many others.

Special studies for sisters are also conducted on Tuesdays at 09.00 - 11.00 WIB and the material presented includes general studies that are more directed towards discussions about sisters.

"All programs start at 09.00-11.00 WIB. We set that time so that they don't have to go back and forth after studying, they pray here and eat here," added Asep.

Lastly, they provide a senior boarding school program for Muslims aged 50 and above on Sundays. This program carries the theme and material on how to prepare for death in a husnul khatimah or good death.

Baitul Huda Mosque has an Instagram, namely, @masjidbaitulhuda.id. By optimizing the use of Instagram, this mosque received a lot of financial support and other things from donors so that it could carry out various programs that they run.

"From the first day we started uploading on Instagram, on the 71st day there was content there that made Baitul Huda known. Allah brought good people, the donations were initially crowdfunded, one or two people supported, in the third month Alhamdulillah Allah brought help, all needs were covered by donors," said Asep.
