GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Too many occassions of "mosque" in the lead. Suggest you replace some with "building", etc
Trimmed two

"Since it was established," - it refers to what? And perhaps reword to "Since its reconstruction"
Followed immediately by "the mosque", reworded slightly

Maybe link Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt (I see it more often that people delink countries, perhaps a new trend)
I generally don't link countries (especially well-known ones like Saudi Arabia and Egypt)

Non-muslims will wonder why the chamber is cube-shaped. Perhaps state that it was possibly influenced by the Kaaba
I'll check the sources
Been unable to find coverage of that, or proof that it really is a cube (a 30m ceiling would be quite impressive, methinks)

Also, what denomination of Islam? --Kürbis (✔) 07:35, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Added to the lede, as most will not know that Indonesia is pretty much entirely Sunni.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Nice as usual--Kürbis (✔) 07:35, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Pass/Fail:
