Baitul Mukarram (Arabic: بيت المكرّم‎; The Holy House) is the national mosque of Bangladesh[1]. Located at the heart of Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh, the mosque was founded during the 1960s. The mosque has a capacity of 30,000, giving it the respectable position of being the 10th biggest mosque in the world. However the mosque is constantly getting overcrowded. This especially occurs during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which has resulted in the Bangladeshi government having to add extensions to the mosque, thus increasing the capacity to at least 40,000.]]>

The Muslim community in Corvallis was established in the late 1970s by Muslim students attending Oregon State University. They raised enough money to begin the building of the Islamic Center which is now the home to a flourishing, rich—diverse—community. Ever since then the Muslim's in Corvallis have been active community members whose goal is to educate the people about the real teachings of Islam.

Masjid (mosque) Salmaan Al-Farisi serves as a central place for gathering and worship. The congregational Jumua' prayer is also held every week. Recently, the community has come together to begin a full time Islamic School along with its long running weekend school. The Islamic Center is a common place for weddings and 'aqeeqas (birth celebrations). ]]>

Shah Mosque is a mosque in Isfahan (Eşfahān), Iran standing in south side of Naghsh-i Jahan Square. It has been renamed to Imam Mosque after Islamic Revolution.

Built during the Safavids period, it is an excellent example of Islamic architecture of Iran, and regarded as the masterpiece of Persian Architecture. The Imam Mosque of Esfahan is one of the everlasting masterpieces of architecture in Iran and all over the world. It is registered along with the Naghsh-i Jahan Square as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its construction began in 1611, and its splendor is mainly due to the beauty of its seven-color mosaic tiles and calligraphic inscriptions.]]>

Lal Masjid (Red Mosque)

Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) is one of the most radical mosques in Islamabad. Frequently Islamist groups organize protest marchs from the mosque after Friday's prayers.

On July 3, 2007, the stand off with the government ended in bloody gun battles in which over twenty people, including students of the mosque, media persons, paramilitary personnel, and a businessman, were reportedly killed and over a hundred others were injured. An FIR was later registered against Ghazi brothers with charges ranging from kidnapping and murder to treason, and terrorism.

To avoid collateral loss, on July 4, 2007, the government offered amnesty to juvenile students if they surrendered. Over 1000 of the radical followers surrendered. Abdel Aaziz Ghazi tried to take advantage of the situation by attempting to slip through a tightening siege while wearing a burqa. His unusually taller physique and a relatively fat belly alarmed a policewoman as she searched fleeing students in central Islamabad. Moreover, he refused to pass through the metal detectors that all surrendering students were supposed to pass through. The group of girls surrounding him claimed that their "aunty" was sick and should not be harrassed by the policewomen. This increased the policewomen's suspicions and they went through his purse, which was stuffed with lipsticks, a woman's ID card, and a pistol. He was, consequently, arrested by law enforcement agencies. A reward was announced for the rangers who captured Abdel Aaziz. Then, on the evening of 5th of July, "Operation Silence" commenced. Gunship helicopters and heavy weapons like mortars and missle launchers were also used in the assault. The gate and walls of Mosque were breached. Operation was affected during the night because of heavy storm and raining. Security officials continously asked Maulana Abdul Rashid Ghazi to surrender. Recently, Abdel Rashid Ghazi has announced that he will not surrender.

At dawn on Tuesday, 10 July, after attempts at negotiation failed, government troops stormed the mosque. An estimated 40 rebels and 3 government troops were killed, the number of civilian casualties is not known. Troops cleared the ground floor of the mosque, but rebels retreated into the basement and the standoff continues.]]>

@ 2007-03-10 05:14:02
The building which was constructed between the years 1298-1312 in the Lusignan period is one of the most beautiful Gothic structures of the Meditteranean region. The Lusignan kings would be inaugurated as the King of Cyprus at the St. Sophia Cathedral in Nicosia first, and following this they would be crowned as the King of Jerusalem at the St. Nicholas Cathedral in Famagusta. These ceremonies continued to be held until 1571 when the cathedral was turned into a mosque by the Ottoman Turks.

The architecture of the western front of the building has been influenced by the architecture of the Reims Cathedral. It has an unparalleled window with Gothic style tracery. The 16th century Venetian gallery in the courtyard is today used as a reservoir for ablutions. A Venetian insignia can be seen above the circular windows at the entrance. The relief ornamented with animal figures is thought to have been brought from a temple in Salamis. The apsis of the cathedral is in the Eastern style and is composed of three parts as in most Cyprus churches. The windows in the top part have been well preserved. There are two chapels at the side. The cumbez tree in front -a tropical fig tree- is a rare tree in the north of the island. ]]>

The Badshahi Mosque, or the 'Emperor's Mosque', was built in 1673 by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in Lahore, Pakistan. It is one of the city's best known landmarks, and a major tourist attraction epitomising the beauty and grandeur of the Mughal era.

Capable of accommodating over 55,000 worshippers, it is the second largest mosque in Pakistan, after the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. The architecture and design of the Badshahi Masjid is closely related to the Jama Masjid in Delhi, India, which was built in 1648 by Aurangzeb's father and predecessor, emperor Shah Jahan.

Badshahi Masjid is one of the famous locations where Qari Basit recited quran.]]>

The foundation walls of the mosques date from the 12th century, but the main part is constructed in the 16th century and renovated in the 19th.
The 400 years old theological college with the same name, was immensely restored in the last years. The Medersa was once the biggest theological college of the Maghreb and is also one of the oldest monuments in Marrakech.
It was founded in the 14th century by the Sultan of the Merinids Abou El Hassan and the Saadian Abdallah El Ghalib extended it in the 16th to the biggest Medersa. In the 150 small rooms up to 900 students followed their studies.
The Merdersa fascinates through wonderful stucco decoration; it is a jewel of sacral architecture. ]]>

First built in 1147, but demolished since it was not correctly aligned with Mecca, the "mosque of the booksellers", was finished in its present shape in 1199. It has ever since been the landmark of Marrakech, rising up from the low houses and markets around.
Its style is a Almohad, but has a good deal of simple Andalucian elements added to it. The minaret rises 77 metres above the ground, while the mosque is sizeable by itself. While it has a strict appearance in red stone today, it is believed that it originallywas covered with plaster. There have been plans of renovating the Koutoubia into this style. ]]>
