Before we visited the Maqam of Raden Fatah, we arrived at this beautiful Grand Mosque or known in this region with bahasa as Masjid Agung in Demak. It was sorely built by the 9 Saints (Wali Songo) in one day. According to Kiyai Taufiq, the principal of Pondok Taufiqy in Pekalongan, the woods were carried by the monkeys in the jungle. Each pillar of the mosque had the name of 4 out of the 9 saints. It was said that these 4 saints was the one responsible for the pillar to be intact as a foundation for the mosque to stand till today.
If you use your rationality and logic, by looking at this mosque, you will find the impossibility on how humans could built this amazing mosque in one day. However, saints have their spiritual power granted to them by Allah s.w.t. Today this mosque is a monument of Faith, love and Humanity.
