Activities - celebration activities, discussion, religious studies, lectures and study of the Qur'an are often held in mosques. Even in Islamic history, the mosque helped play a part in social activities until the military.

Viewed from etymology Masjid means a place of worship. The root word of the mosque is sajada which means sajada prostrate or bow. The word mosque itself rooted in Aramaic. The word masgid (msgd) found in an inscription of the 5th century BC. The word masgid (msgd) means "sacred pole" or "place of gods".
The towers, as well as a large dome of the mosque, it was as a prime witness how medieval Islamic period. The mosque has been through a series of years the longest in history until now. Starting from the Crusades to the Gulf War. For more than 1000 years anyway, mosque architecture began to slowly adjust the mosque building with modern architecture.
The first mosque was established when the Prophet Muhammad arrived in Medina, he decided to build a mosque, now known by the name of the Prophet's Mosque, which means the Prophet's Mosque.

Mosques in Sicily and Spain do not mimic the architectural design of the Visigoths, but mimicked Moorish architecture. Scientists then estimated that the pre-Islamic form of the building was transformed into a form of Islamic architectural style Andalus and Maghreb, as an example of a horseshoe arch in the mosque doors

Candi Gunung Gangsir

Temple Mount digger is a temple located in Temple Kebon Hamlet, Village of Mount digger, District Beji, Pasuruan regency, East Java. But not many people know about the existence of this temple. Because of this temple was never a field trip attractions and objects. Moreover, until recently, the temple was still in the process of restoration due to damage suffered. Temple Mount from the digger had improved from 2004 to the present. For the neglect of the restoration of this temple is the lack of rocks that can be used to restore the temple. In addition, to restore the temple reliefs, encountered many difficulties when it was discovered because of this temple is not in its entirety. Is estimated that the temple was built during the reign of Airlangga (http://indopedia.gunadarma.ac.id/content/125/3176/id/candi-gununggangsir.html accessed on October 8, 2011 at 11:40 pm)
According to the tomb guard, Mr. Edy Susanto, this temple was built not as a place pendharmaan king, but to honor a figure in the mythology of the local villagers who named Nyai Sri Gati or Mbok Rondo Dermo. In the past, present around the village called Village of Mount digger, the community life of wandering (nomadic) and similar eating grass. However, then the situation becomes precarious because food supplies were running low. Until there came a man named Nyai Sri Gati. He intends to help local people by getting them to pray to Sang Hyang Widhi to ask for help. Finally, relief came through a bunch of bird dropping grains near them. By Nyai Sri Gati, rice is planted. Several months later, the rice can be harvested. Seeing his success, Nyai Sri Gati was then taught to the public on how to plant and cultivate rice to be used as food. The story tells Sri Gati Nyai grains can be eaten, while the skin is turned into a gem that makes it rich.

Jika ditilik dari cerita yang dipaparkan oleh juru kunci, tujuan pembangunan candi dikarenakan berkembangnya pertanian di kawasan Desa Gunung Gangsir terdukung oleh adanya areal pertanian luas yang letaknya tidak jauh dari candi ini. Hanya berjarak sekitar 100 meter dari candi.
Candi Gunung Gangsir merupakan candi yang terbuat dari batu bata berukir dan memiliki 4 lantai atau 4 tingkatan. 2 lantai dasarnya merupakan tubuh dan atap candi yang sebenarnya. Denahnya berbentuk segi empat, sesuai dengan kriteria bangunan candi yang terdapat dalam kitab Silpasastra. Lantai dasarnya yang berbentuk segi empat memiliki sebuah tonjolan pada sisi timurnya, berlawanan dengan arah keletakan tanga. Tubuh dan atap candi juga memiliki bentuk dasar segi empat dan di keempat bagian sisi dinding tubuh candi juga memiliki bidang tonjolan yang rapi. Seperti candi-candi pada umumnya, Candi Gunung Gangsir pun memiliki relief-relief cerita. Hanya saja saat ini, candi kecil ini tidak lagi utuh sebab pada masa pendudukan Jepang, batu-batuan candi sering diambil (http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candi_Gunung_Gangsir diakses tanggal 08 Oktober 2011 pukul 11.43 WIB).
Respon Masyarakat Setempat Terhadap Candi Gunung Gangsir
Masyarakat yang hidup di daerah sekitar Candi Gunung Gangsir yaitu di dukuh Kebon Candi dan Dermo adalah masyarakat yang mayoritas muslim. Namun mereka cukup menghargai dan welcome terhadap keberadaan candi yang notabene merupakan warisan agama Hindu ini. Terbukti dengan adanya usaha swadaya masyarakat dalam merawat Candi Gunung Gangsir dan halaman di sekitarnya. Candi ini diperlakukan selaknya barang peninggalan purbakala yang patut dijaga dan dilestarikan. Tidak ada sikap berlebihan terhadap candi ini seperti pemujaan, pengeramatan, dsb.
Sebagian besar masyarakatnya bangga atas adanya Candi Gunung Gangsir di desa mereka. Sebab tak semua desa punya aset cagar budaya masa lampau berwujud candi. Namun sayangnya, mereka tidak menerapkan sistem zoning terhadap candi ini dan kawasannya. Sehingga mereka tidak mengosongkan candi dan lingkungannya dalam radius tertentu. Candi yang dilindungi hanya sebatas bangunan fisik candi dan pekarangan seluas 200 m2 sedangkan sekelilingnya adalah pemukiman warga yang berdekatan, sehingga sampai saat ini pun belum bisa diketahui apakah tidak ada peninggalan-peninggalan lain yang bersangkutan dengan candi ini.

Candi Gambar Wetan adalah sebuah candi yang terletak di kabupaten Blitar, Jawa Timur. Candi Gambar Wetan terletak 7 km ke arah utara Candi Panataran, sedangkan Panataran terletak 12 km utara Kota Blitar. Tidak ada kendaraan umum yang secara khusus bisa mengangkut wisatawan langsung ke Candi Gambar Wetan tetapi dapat dengan menumpang truk pasir ke arah penambangan pasir atau disebut juga dengan "laharan" di sebelah selatan perkebunan Candi Sewu.Sebagian dari keseluruhan tanah di sekitar candi ini tanah berpasir karena candi ini terletak di sebelah sebelah selatan Gunung Kelud dan menjadi aliran lahar Gunung Kelud.
Candi ini dapat ditempuh dengan menumpang truk pasir ke arah utara 7 km dan baru berjalan kaki ke arah candi dengan melewati wilayah perkebunan tebu  (dahulu perkebunan kopi pada zaman belanda).Candi ini tidaklah utuh (dapat dilihat dalam gambar disamping) Hanya tinggal batur candi yang masih utuh dengan sebagian relief yang masih tersisa. Bagian lain dari komponen areal ini adalah 2 buah dwarapala yang menjaga di pinggir tangga masuk candi ini. Candi berada diatas puncak bukit dengan melalui tangga yang dibuat dengan dwarapala yang menjagany). Berdasarkan berbagai gaya yang ditemui dari sisa hiasannya, candi ini diperkirakan dibangun pada masa kerajaan Majapahit.hal ini dapat dilihat dari model arsitektur candi pada puncaknya terdapat bentuk ratna, seperti candi selogriyo, candi prambanan, candi sambisari - relief cerita di dingding candi misal di candi prambanan yaitu ramayana dan krisnayana - terdapat arca dewi trimurti (brahma, siwa, wisnu), durgamahisasuramardini, agastya, ganesha (baik dalam bilik candi maupun relung dinding candi).
Selain itu  candi ini juga letaknya juga tak jauh dari kompleks candi penataran yang merupakan lambang dari ketatanegaraan majapahit yang teratur secara rapi. Jadi secara keseluruhan dapat disimpulkan bahwa candi gambar wetan ini merupakan hasil dari peninggalan kerajaan hindu majapahit yang dibangun berdekatan dengan kompleks candi penataran.

Potensi Dari Kawasan Candi Gambar
a. Nilai Wisata/ Ekonomis

b. Nilai Sosial dan Budaya
Masyarakat didaerah ini masih mengenal kepercayaan mistis yang terdapat di kawasan Candi Gambar Wetan sehingga pada Jumat Legi masyarakat sekitar selalu melakukan upacara adapt yang disebut jug dengan istilah nyadran dan selametan dipimpin oleh tokoh adapt dengan balutan tradisi kejawen hal ini akan menjadi daya tarik tersendiri bagi wisatawan yang ingin melihat prosese acara adat tersebut
c.  Nilai Kealamian/ Naturalis
Kawasan Candi Gambar masih sangat asri karena masih belum banyak terjamah oleh manusia kawasannya juga terletak diatas bukit memiliki udara yang sejuk dan tidak akan ditemui pada wisata candi di kabupaten blitar lainnya. Ini juga merupakan nilai tambah karena wisatawan dapat menikmati sensasi alam yang masih alami.
d.  Nilai Pendidikan/ pembelajaran
Candi Gambar Wetan merupakan salah satu peninggalan Kerajaan Majapahit dari anpan dari Candi Penataran sehingga memiliki nilai sejarah yang sangat tinggi. Jadi dapat dijadikan tujuab isata pendidikan bagi siswa yang ingin lebih mengenal sejarah dan benda Cagar Budaya.
Candi Gambar Wetan
Candi Gambar Wetan berlokasi di Dusun Gambar desa Sumber Asri Kecamatan Ngelegok Kabupaten Blitar. Jarak dari kota Blitar menuju Candi gambar ± 20 km. Letak Candi ini cukup syrategis ditinjau dari lokasi pariwisata lain yaitu ± 7 Km dari candi Penataran dan ± 13 Km dari wisata Gunung Kelud, candi Gambar wetan ini berangka tahun 1260 saka. Hal tersebut diketahui dari pahatan pada kaki salah satu arca Dwarapala. Candi ini merupakan peninggalan gari kerajaan Majapahit dan sering digunakan sebagai tempat peristirahatan sementara Hayam Wuruk dalam perjalanannya menuju Candi Utama yaitu Candi Penataran. Sehingga Candi Gambar Wetan dapat dikatakan sebagai “ampean” dari Candi Penataran. Sebelumnya Candi ini bernama Candi Bodo namun seiring berjalannya waktu namanyanya pun diganti menjadi Candi Gambar Wetan. Hal ini didasarkan lokasi yang terletak di Dusun Gambar dan berada disebelah timur, sehingga sampai saat ini masyarakat sekitar menyebut Candi Gambar Wetan.
Candi Gambar Wetan terdiri dari dua pintu gerbang yang masing- masing dijaga oleh Dwarapala yang menghubungkan halaman depan ke Balai Kambang (Candi Induk). Pada pintu pertama dijaga oleh 2 Arca Dwarapala yang disebut Mbah Bodo dan Mbah Dewo, Bodo disini berasal dari kata Budha sedangkan Dewo berasal dari kata Dewa letak kedua arca Dwarapala tersebut saling berdampingan namun karena disebelah selatan kawasan candi sangat curam maka suatu ketika Arca Dewa terguling ke selatan dan berpindah kurang lebih 100 meter kearah selatan sehinnga menyebabkan Arca yang awalnya menghadap ke barat menjadi ke Utara.dan pada pintu kedua juga  dijaga oleh dwarapala namun Arca di Utara masih terpendam, Setelah melewati pintu kedua kita langsung dapat melihat Balai Kambang ( Candi Induk) yaitu tempat peristirahatan Hayam Wuruk sebelum melakukan perjalan ke Candi utama yaitu Candi Penataran.
Faktor Penghambat Pengembangan Candi Gambar Wetan
Akses jalan yang masih kurang baik (dapat dilihat pada gambar di bawah ini) karena sepanjang 3.5 Km wisatawan harus dihadapkan oleh jalan berpasir dan sempit sehingga menyulitkan para pengunjung untuk sampai ke tempat wisata dengan cepat. Ditambah lagi tidak tersedia angkutan umum menuju kawasan Candi.
Selain itu kurang tanggapnya pemerintah setempat terhadap pengadaan fasilitas dan pemeliharaan kawasan merupakan faktor paling utama yang penghambat pengembangan dari potensi candi, karena selama ini petugas dan biaya peliharaan ditanggung oleh Dinas Kepurbakalaan Trowulan, Mojokerto. Jadi dana yang tersediapun sangat minim untuk memenuhi semua kebutuhan pemeliharaan candi.
Kurang berpartisipasinya masyarakat dalam pemeliharaan serta pelestarian peninggalan nenek moyang yang sebenarnya patut untuk dihargai dan dikembangan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan infomasi untuk generasi yang akan datang.
Cara Pengembangan  Potensi Kawasan Candi Gambar Wetan
•    Mensosialisasikan kepada masyarakat mengenai potensi dan keberadaan dari lokasi- lokasi wisata di Kabupaten Blitar
•    Melakukan pelatihan terhadap petugas- petugas/ guide untuk mencetak  informan yang handal sehinngga diharapkan dapat mempromosikan pariwisata kepada wisatawan
•    Mengefektifkan kinerja dari duta pariwisata Kabupaten Blitar (Gus Jeng Blitar) dalam mempromosikan khususnya pariwisata yang masih belum dikenal masyarakat luas.
•    Melakukan promosi untuk mencari investor agar pengembangan segera untuk diimplementasikan baik di media cetak, elektronik dan internet
•    Melakukan evaluasi dan membuat program kerja serta peninjauan langsung, agar pemerintah mendapat informasi keluhan dari petugas dalam mengembangkan wisata tersebut.
•    Masyarakat harus lebih peduli dengan potensi daerah masing-masing dengan mengutamakan pengetahuan pariwisata daerah sendiri sebelum mengenal kebudayaan/ wisata dari daerah lain.
•    Melakukan pemugaran terhadap Candi Gambar Wetan karena diperkirakan masih banyak kompleks candi yang tertimbun dibawah bukit selain itu jika pemugaran bias segera dilaksanakan diperkirakan luas keseluruhan kawasan candi dapat melebihi luas Kompleks Candi Penataran.
Penutup
Aset pariwisata memiliki arti yang penting dalam menunjang pembangunan pada suatu daerah sebab dapat mendatangkan keuntungan yang akan menambah pendapatan daerah, jadi masalah yang menjadi penghambat berkembangnnya suatu tempat wisata merupakan masalah bersama yang harus di cari solusinya.

In Heaven We'll met

Of King `bin 'Umar an-Nakha'iy, he said," In Kufa there was a handsome young man, very industrious and earnest worship. He also included one of his ascetic expert. At one point, he stopped some time in the township of Nukha 'then-accidentally-eye view of a young woman is flawless in their beautiful lovely nan. He was attracted to him and his mind was hovering about it. Apparently, the same experienced by the woman. This young man was then sent a messenger to apply for the woman to her father but her father told her that she had been betrothed to her uncle's son (cousin). This condition makes them so tormented and cut.
Then the woman sent messengers to the youth service experts contains a message, 'It's up to my ear about your love in me and that very temptation is so heavy with coverage for me I feel about you. If you wish, I will visit you or I facilitates the way for you to come to my house. 'Then he said to the delegates that, "Neither will I do. He then read his words, 'Behold, I am afraid of torture on a great day if the sinner to my Lord.' (Qs, az-Zumar: 13) I fear the fire whose tongue was never extinguished and jilatannya who never shut up. '
When the messenger returned to her, he then delivered what has been said the young man, then said to the woman,
'Even if I see him as such but it seems he also had a very ascetic, the fear of God? By Allah, no one who feels they have more right to this (fear of Allah) from others. Behold the servant in this case is the same. '
Then he left the glitzy world, throw away all the things associated with it, wearing clothes made of fur (to appear asceticism) and berkonsentari in worship. Nevertheless, he was still drifting and was emaciated because of his love for the young and compassion against him until finally he died of longing harbored extreme to him.
The handsome young man would often make pilgrimages to his grave. One night, he saw the woman in the dream as if in a very good appearance, and said to him, 'How are you and what you find after me.? "The woman replied,
The best of love, is love, O lover
The love that leads to good and do good
Then he asked, 'Where are you going to be.?' He replied,
To the enjoyment and endless life
Nan in heaven eternally, never owned an extinct
He said again to him, 'Remember, remember I'm there because I never forget you.' He replied, 'By Allah, I will so. I've begged my Lord, my Mawla and you, then He helped me over it with sincerity. "Then she turned that too. So I told him, 'When I can see you.?' He replied, 'You will come to us in the near future.'
Apparently true, the young man did not live long after the dream, only seven in the evening. And, after that, he was followed, passed away into Rahmatullah. May God have mercy on them.

OBJECTIVE SCIENCE DEMANDS: ALIGN INTENTION, LET HAPPY WORLD HEREAFTER

Imam al-Ghazzali reminds the mukaddimah straightforward language in the book "Bidayatul Guidance". He said, "if someone is looking for science with the intent to just vigorous, seeking praise, or to collect the property, then he has run to destroy religion, ruin himself, and has sold the world hereafter." (Fa-anta saa 'in ilaa hadmi diinika ihlaaki Nafsika wa, wa bi bay'i aakhiratika dunyaaka).
Many of our friends when asked the school for what purpose? no other answer is to work. No wonder, because of the small knowledge we've given both of their parents or our teachers during school that we must learn to be diligent in high school scored so easily in the future to get a job. A variety of reasons for our friends in the demanding goals of science, which will surely lead to find a material or merely mundane. Moreover, the male sex. A man has an obligation to make a living as a form of responsibility of a husband to his wife and as head of household.
"The man is a leader for women, because Allah has preferred sebahagian their (male) on sebahagian another (female), and because they (men) have been spend of their property ...." ( QS. An-Nisa ': 34).
Knowing this, the man should be prepared early in the school that later took to get a job easily and get a steady job so that the salary earned is also high. So here, school or studying to be a means of working.
In addition, students learn merely to get their diploma course. Success and intelligence is measured by obtaining a job well established and abundant wealth. The result is that student learning tend to be pragmatic and halalkan every way. To get a diploma, for example, a student who purchased a degree or diploma. Learning is no longer to remove the ignorance, but want to improve social status. The next result, the emergence of leaders who led the style of pragmatic, materialist - though not a science.
In addition to prohibited seek power, wealth and rank in studying purposes, Muslims are also forbidden to argue with fools, or pride themselves in front of friends.
"Messenger of Allah., Says:" Do not learn the science for the purpose of competing and rival cleric, mocking the fools and human sympathy. Those who do so, their future was in hell. "(Narrated by Ibn Majah)
Kriteri-criteria objective studying
Hujjatul Islam imam al-Ghazali has said, people who studied there are three kinds: first, those who seek knowledge simply because they want to get the stock back to the afterlife. Second, people who studied with the intention of looking for something to prop up the worldly life, and the glory and honor position. Third, people who make the science as a means to increase wealth, glory, splendor with the position, pride-banggahan with many followers, admit clerics and do not feel the need to repent, because he regarded himself muhsinun (good people) (See Guidance Bidayatul).
O Brother ...
Of the three criteria above, we can know what is right in demanding science goals. Should as Muslims we have to straighten out the intention for what purpose I went to school for years? for what I am studying all these years?. When we return to Islam, the purpose of studying nature is to get the blessing of God Almighty., To worship Allah., To get the stock back to the next village. For what? Because someday humans will return to Allah. Creator and Controller of the Universe. Could be next year, next month, next week or tomorrow we take a life of God.
Typology of knowledge
Imam al-Ghazali describes the typology of science when studied, knowledge will be crystallized into two major phenomena, according to their intentions. First, science is learned is not because Allah (li Ghari lillah) has the characteristics of Zann and syakk (Doubt-doubt). People will be satisfied with the objectives of external, physical or material. As a result, anxiety arises in the soul: khawf (prejudice dread of the unknown); huzn; khusr; (narrowness of life, pain in self and sense, depression); hammam (concerned in the disaster that will befall); ghamm; 'usr; khasrah (sorry no sequel).
Second, science is learned simply because Allah (lillah). Knowledge will instill a strong i'tiqad pious hearts. So people with this intention has high spirits, not easily satisfied in the achievement of knowledge. The result is yaqin, breadfruit nafs (equanimity), khasyatullah (fear of Allah).
Therefore, the measure of the success of learning according to Imam al-Ghazali is not seen in the ability of generating wealth and honors of office, but the people who study, learn any science, either ulum al-din (shari'ah sciences) or science science, applied science, is said to succeed if he is increasingly aware of the responsibility on himself as a man and to God as the Creator, and feared him.
Essentially a single source of knowledge, which is revelation. Then in fact there should be no dichotomy between religion and science general knowledge. Both are means to reach Him. The purpose of science is the search for accessories and beautify the inner virtues to improve the quality of bertaqarrub to God. An emphasis on science, should be interpreted as set priorities, and priorities must be measured in terms of the interests of the world and the hereafter.
Therefore, it is very important for us to examine the concept of science scholars. Scholars we were rich with the philosophy of science, may we have an opportunity review the treasury 'gold' is. Amiiiin.
