President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto conducted an official working visit to the province of Aceh on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. According to reports from Republika and CNN Indonesia, the Head of State departed from the Base Ops of the Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base in East Jakarta on Wednesday morning (WIB, UTC+7) aboard a Falcon 8X aircraft.
During this visit, President Prabowo is scheduled to inaugurate several vital facilities for the local community, including a religious center and educational infrastructure in Nagan Raya Regency.
Inauguration of the Jade Mosque and People's School
As reported by CNN Indonesia, President Prabowo is set to inaugurate the Baitul A'la Jade Mosque and a new building for the Sekolah Rakyat (People's School) in Nagan Raya. The Baitul A'la Jade Mosque serves as a central hub for religious activities in the region.
Meanwhile, the opening of the new Sekolah Rakyat building reflects the government's commitment to expanding educational access for children. As stated in official remarks carried by CNN Indonesia, this initiative aims to ensure that all children have easy access to quality education.
Witnessing the Display of the Indonesian Flag
In addition to the inaugurations, President Prabowo is scheduled to witness the display of a 24-kilometer-long Indonesian flag, the Merah Putih, by local residents. Republika reports that the President will observe this display while traveling to the inauguration site.
This was confirmed by the Cabinet Secretariat via their official Instagram account, as cited by CNN Indonesia, which stated: "As planned, on the way to the inauguration site for the mosque and the people's school, the President will witness the display of a 24-kilometer-long Merah Putih flag by local residents."
Leadership and Care for the Ummah
A leader's visit to various regions, including Aceh, is a tangible manifestation of the government's attention to the development of religious and educational facilities. Islam teaches the importance of maintaining ukhuwah (brotherhood) and supporting efforts that bring benefit to the wider community, whether through maintaining the houses of Allah or fostering the intellectual life of the nation through education.
From an Islamic perspective, building centers for religious activity and facilitating learning for children are righteous deeds that bring blessings. Regarding the importance of fulfilling one's trust and providing leadership that brings benefit, sincerity in serving the community remains a noble moral foundation.
Every one of you is a leader and every one of you will be held accountable for your leadership.
