Beautiful Masjid's in the World




Masjid Al Haram , Mecca , Saudi Arabia

A masjid is a place of worship for followers of Islam. Muslims often refer to the mosque by its Arabic name, masjid. The primary purpose of the masjid is to serve as a place where Muslims can come together for prayer. Nevertheless, masjids are known around the world nowadays for their general importance to the Muslim community as well as their demonstration of Islamic architecture.

I have built a website dedicated only for the masjids of the world. I need contribution from Muslim brothers around the world for this site. Please check on this website. http://www.aaramfoods.com
I would request original pictures with no copyright issues. With Mobile cameras, I believe clicking Masjids Pictures should not be a daunting task. My suggestion is to have at least 3-4 pictures. One pictures showing the Main Entrance, a second side view and two from inside the masjid. Additional Details of Approximate capacity, Archtects/designers, area etc would be appreciated. Most important would be the location (local -Street, City and Country) so that the viewer has better knowledge of its location and can use the masjid if in the vicinity. Jazakallahu Khair - Mohamed
