The presence of the Abdurrahman Mosque is expected to be a spirit of compassion for others. “The spirit of loving others, God willing, always brings Undip to the right track. And Alhamdulillah, we feel that Undip’s development is always increasing. Therefore, the spirit of love underlies the construction of this mosque and hopefully it will be a blessing.” explained Prof. Yos.

“Let’s prosper with this mosque. The prosperity of this mosque is when we i’tikaf here and read the Qur’an. Hopefully this mosque is a reminder that at any time we will be held accountable so we work as well as possible. Malayu bantering the world by yo by, but uploading banter ning dhuwur yo is important .” continued Prof. Yos.
