Nice collection. I didn’t know that Singapore has so beautiful mosques.
Dhaka is the city of mosque. There are thousands of mosques in Dhaka, and many more in Bangladesh.
Thanks from Bangladesh.
Most Excellent. Well done. Hats off to you !
Thank you for sharing these pictures. The architectures took the mundane (mathematics of building design) and created more than was absolutely necessary. For what? …for the inspiration …for the beauty of the eye. All can learn from this.
I am german – i can post images of wonderful buildings made by nazis. Sarcasm.
Most, if not all, ppl dont understand that any mosque is the result of religious megalomania.
You dont need this buildings for prayers; but you need it for power demonstration and power abuse (social decomposition).
Humans are crazy = architecture is crazy. This should be worldwide illegal to give groups so big places. 99% of all muslims are isolated in germany – nobody like them – no mosque in germany change that.
Islam never allows us such excessive show off. It tells us to beautify our mind/thought/soul rather than our houses, outlooks or else. We are recommended to donate money and wealth for others including poor, orphans, helpless, not spend on such magnificent structures. Allah (our god) calls them brother of Saitan(arch devil) who spends wealth unnecessarily.
As you said, some people need to demonstrate. Allah would be happier if we prayed under a tin-shed and made better use of that money.
Creating beautiful things is is the result of divine influence – no matter what god you believe in. Creating is what mankind is supposed to do. Creativity comes from the creator.
BTW, i’m German too and i don’t feel like Muslims are hated. There are some cultural and social problems, that are not significantly connected with religion but with the fact, that Germany was hiring millions of the most uneducated peasants from turkey in the 60’s to rebuild Germany. That has nothing to do with religion but with major social and educational differences. Just my thoughts on that.
Many non-Muslima have visited these mosques and have accepted Islam after they felt extraordinary serenity and sense of peace while they were there. So if we look at the bright side, it’s not that bad either.
I needed to add that I do agree with what you said at the end of your post. I am certainly not in the favour of investing in constructing masajid at controversial sites when the amount can go to much needed people suffering from natural disasters. Such an attitude is pure selfishness.
Hello M (from Germany), I think its not your mistake you been following media. These building are not to show the power of muslims,
Main reason for big building is to accomodate huge amouunt of people in religious acitivies. I guess you never been to Mosque neither you know anything about any religion not just Islam.
I live in England I know many German people and never heard such hatred I think you are alone in that. Try to think positive manner It might help.
The fundamental concept of Islam is to be humble and kill the pride. No to show off things.
Well done, you are doing really great job, Proud to be a Muslim, I also did a post about 40 Most beautiful Mosques Around The World on my blog. http://thewondrous.com/40-most-beautiful-mosques-around-the-world/
