well i would like to say that in my area there are too many masjids! the main masjid is called madinah masjid...now next to madinah masjid is the madinah madrassa stil in debt cos it cost 3.1 million.
now a few people had a tift. less than a minute behind it is a massive masjid and madrassa. 5 mins behind that is jame masjid
two minutes in front of madinah masjid is masjid e noor and madrassa. 30 seconds in front of this is masjid e noor ul islam.
*walking distances*
reason?dis unity what else?
theres a couple more too just cant remeber names... but these masjids are mostly all in debt except one...and the saffs are not filled up either.
Oh dear sister amani. We talk about unity and this and that but our words never become action.
This is a certain Zawawi mosque in Japan:
I voted for kabaa, but i think masjid ul nabwi and Malaysia Masjid r very beautful too mahsallah
Assalamo-alaiukum-wa-rahmatullah-hey-wabrakatu
Wallahi that is a beautiful picture of the mosque in Japan!
Assalamo-alaikum-wa-rahmatullah-hey-wabrakatu
Same in our area unfortunately. It also stems from pride - if Mosque X has refurbished and spent £1m then why should we be behind - right we are gonna spend £3m and make it even more grander!reason?dis unity what else?

Have they forgotten that the best mosques are those that are simple and full of worshippers!
May allah guide us all!

The Id Kah Mosque
The Id Kah Mosque,in uyghur means Square of festival,Typical Uyghur structure,regarded biggest in China,located in the center of Kashgar, has a history of more than five hundred years.100,000 worshippers attend religios service at the same time.
Shakesimirza, the ruler of Kashgar at that time, had the mosque built here first in 1442, in the aim to where he would say prayers to the souls of his deceased relatives. Extended and renovated time several times but keep the style, size,painting, it has finally reached its present size. The Mosque, 140 meters long from south to north and 120 meters from east to west, covers an area of 16,800 sq,uare meters and consists of the Hall of Prayer,the Doctrine-Teaching Hall, the gate tower, a pond and some other auxiliary structures. The gate of the mosque, built of yellow bricks with the joints of the brick work pointed with gysum, has distinct lines. On both side of the gate are eighteen-meter high round brick columns half embedded in the wall. On the top of the columns stands a tower where the imam would call out loudly at dawn every day to wake up the Muslims and summon them to attend service in the mosque.It is the rare sound in China. In the tree-graced courtyard,there is a pond, and on its bank many pottery pots are place(Now it is seldom seen,because water tap is fixed in the Mosque)to wash their hands ,faces,feet,and others before attending the service.. The hall's ceiling, with fine wooden carvings and colorful flower-and-plant painting patterns,is suppourted by one hundred carved wooden columns. In the middle part of the wall in the main hall, there is a deep shrime in which a stepp-ed throne is placed. During service, the First Maola stands in the shrine to lead the prayer. And on Fridays or Corban, the First Maola conducts "Wa'z," standing on the steps of the throneAfter entering the main hall, the followers would seat themselves facing to Mecca inside and out, in proper lines.
On Lesser Bairam and Corban, the biggest Islam festivals, the Uygur people gather on the square in front of the mosque to celebrate their festivals with jubilation.On those days Uyghur people dressed in their holiday best, dance"Sama," overflowing with enthusiasm, to the cheerful drum beats and music.It contrasts with Cornival in Western.
