First thing that I feel when I went there was amazed by the structured and how large the compound was. Although I am a native and frequently prayed there, it didn't stop me to have this marvelous feeling for Istiqlal. Especially on the Ramadhan, the peak quantity Istiqlal usually had. Please come at least 1 hour early before Isya's time.
